We love crafts that can be played with and this interactive Santa Spinner Christmas Craft is here to entertain. Assemble the pattern and watch Santa fly across the roof over and over as you spin the spinner.

This is a great craft for Christmas Eve, when everyone is eagerly awaiting Santa’s visit.

How to make a Santa Claus Christmas Craft

What you need:

  • Our Santa Claus Craft Template
  • white cardstock (or use regular paper and laminate)
  • Split pins/paper clips (you can buy them at stationery stores, arts and crafts stores, etc.)
  • coloring supplies if printing black and white version
  • drag

Step by step instructions

Print the paper – black and white or full color. We recommend printing on thicker paper/cardboard or laminating.

If you or your child decides to use a black and white template, the first step is to color the roof and the image inside the circle.

Once you are happy with your color, use scissors to cut along the dotted lines.

Time to get the crafts spinning :).

Punch a hole in the middle of the circle – a skewer, split pin, or even a pencil will work. For younger children, an adult should do this step.

Drill another hole through the small circle located on the chimney.

Push the split pin through both holes and secure the split pin.

Spin the toy a few times to “make it a little more comfortable” and you’re good to go.

Spin and watch Santa fly through the sky.
