Build A Snowman Printable
My Christmas characters, including this sweet Santa Claus, have been featured in festive printables over the years, but I’ve never turned them into buildable crafts… until now!
Introducing Santa Claus!
My cute, chubby little characters are far from realistic – I go for cute when I create characters for my printables!
As with [most of] my printables, they are available in two paper sizes – A4 and US Letter (8.5″ x 11″)
Download your chosen printable from the list further down the page (they’re surrounded by a purple box), and print onto thick paper or thin card. Cut the pieces out, then build a Santa!
Included with this printable Santa craft are the following pieces:
- Body (with eyes and rosy cheeks)
- Nose with mustache and mouth
- Arms
- Feet
- Hat
- Beard
- Santa Suit
- Belt
You’ll find the Color and Build A Santa Claus over in the Purple Pumpkin Printables Shop.
I’ve created two sizes for Santa Claus: Regular size, which is what you see above, with all of the pieces on one sheet of paper (usually, this printable needed extra space!); and Large size with bigger pieces spread over several sheets.
The regular size printable is for children that are more skilled at cutting. The large size should be a lot easier for younger children. Or you could cut them out for them. Of course, you know your children, so will know what suits them best!
You can stick the pieces together if you wish using glue or tape. Or you could use a laminator and laminate the pieces and use them over and over again.
You could mount your Santa onto a larger piece of construction paper and use other craft materials to embellish it – furry material, glitter glue, googly eyes, sequins, buttons, tissue paper, for example.
Most of all, just have fun with this printable!
