DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Cone Santa Paper Craft
Set Santa out on a coffee table or the mantle as a fun Christmas
decoration or put him on the top of a small Christmas tree as a tree topper
- something to color with
The directions are appropriate for an older child or adult to
assemble. Don't worry too much if younger children glue the pieces a bit
off kilter -- part of the fun of watching them grow is seeing their
progress over the years!
- Color and cut out the pieces.
- Roll the large triangular piece and use the tab to glue it into a cone
- Glue the nose onto the face using a dot of glue on the nose (this allows
the mustache to stick out from the edges a bit in a slightly 3d manner).
- Glue the hat band around the top, just above the face.
- Glue the beard around the top, just below the face. You can see how the
mouth fits into the little notch in the beard.
- Glue the belt around the center, just below the buttons.
- Fold the arms in half and glue together (so they're coloured on both
sides). Use a dot of glue on the top of the arms (shoulder) to position the
arms near the beard, leaving them sticking out in a slightly 3d manner. You
can have them sticking straight down, reaching forward, waving, etc...
however you want Santa to look!).
- Close template window when done printing to return to this screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
