Santa Advent Calendar
If your kids are like mine, then they like hands on projects with coloring, cutting, glueing and accessories. This project provides them will all of those and it is also just too cute!
This Santa Advent Calendar kids craft project is great to do the weekend after Thanksgiving. If you have any leftover Halloween Candy this is a great way to get rid of it by sticking a piece to each number and they can take it off and put a cotton ball there. This makes it extra fun! 🙂
It’s pretty easy to make this Santa Advent Calendar, but its fun for the kids and gives them a sense of accomplishment since they can do it all by themselves.
- Print out this Santa Picture. (click on image for full picture)
- Color the picture. This is a great Glitter craft!
- Cut it out and glue it to a card stock (or leave it the way it is)
- Glue cotton balls on to each day that goes by, counting down to the 24 when Santa will come! (we just used elmers glue and grabbed a bag of cotton balls from dollar tree). Another fun thing you could do is put Hershey kisses on it and let them take one out every day, or put other candy on it.
We have been using this advent calendar for years. My 8 year old daughter still asks for it every December 1st. Thank you!!!
