My girls liked the fact that the Santa Claus paper craft looks the same as the Sleepy Santa Craft -- we have Sleepy Santa hanging in the bedroom and Santa Claus hanging by the fireplace.  They liked the candy-cane suspenders too *grin*. 

Materials:

• a printer,
• a piece of paper
• some crayons, paint, markers or pencil crayons,
• scissors, and
• glue.

Instructions

• Print out the template of choice.  
  • There is a choice between a large Santa (3 templates) or a small Santa (1 template).  I prefer the large version, but it takes more paper and ink.
       
• Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.
     
• To glue together:
  • Glue the boots onto the bottom of the large body piece
  • Glue the jacket onto the body piece.
  • Glue the arms so the shoulders line up with the top of the body piece
  • Glue the head onto the top of the body.  
    • on the large templates, the head is in a few different pieces.  Glue the round face on first,
    • glue the hat/hair on first
    • add the beard
    • glue the mustache on last

• Close the template window after 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).
