How to make Santa toilet paper rolls
What you need:
- pencil
- drag
- glue
- paper roll
- black paper
- White paper
- colored paper (red, yellow, pink)
- cotton balls
- two innocent eyes
- a red pom-pom
Step-by-step instructions
Have your child apply glue to the roll of paper and wrap a piece of red paper around it.
To create Santa’s clothes, have them cut a strip of white paper and glue it to a toilet paper roll.
Belt
Next, cut a black strip to make a belt, apply glue and attach it to Santa’s body.
The belt needs a buckle, so have the kids cut a smaller yellow rectangle and glue it to the belt.
Now, you will need to cut a smaller rectangle from the black paper and glue that onto the yellow piece.
Santa’s head
Children need to cut a larger rectangle from yellow or other skin-colored paper and glue it to the top of the toilet paper roll.
Christmas hat
Ask them to cut a half circle out of red paper. This part is a bit difficult for young children. To adapt this Santa craft for kids, have them cut out a triangle and glue it onto the roll of paper (skip making the paper cone).
Make a paper cone by bending a half circle and taping the ends together to form a cone.
The hat is almost finished. Have the children stick it on Santa’s body (using tape is easiest).
It’s time to use cotton balls. Have your child glue a piece to the bottom of the hat.
Santa’s beard
To make Santa’s beard, take more cotton balls, spread glue around Santa’s face and attach the cotton balls.
Eyes
Ask the children to put glitter eyes on Santa’s face.
Cheeks and nose
Santa Claus will look great if children cut out (or draw) two small round cheeks with pink paper, glue them on and then attach a red pom-pom for Santa’s nose.
Watch your hands
Ask the child to cut a red strip, apply a little glue to its end and attach a cotton ball to it.
Glue the arm to the back of the scroll.
They will need to repeat this process to create the other side.
Have the kids make a small ball out of cotton balls (or use a white pom pom) and glue it to the top of Santa’s hat.
Toilet paper roll Santa is ready!
Here are some more ideas on how you can make toilet paper crafts for Santa.
If you cut a small circle (or square) in the bottom, it will look like your Santa has legs.
Santa Claus looks super cute with rosy cheeks. Use a hole punch and create small pink circles that kids can glue onto their crafts.
You can also use a Q-tip and dip it in pink paint to make cheeks.
If you want to make things even easier, you can do Santa’s head and skip the red coat.
Red or pink pom poms are perfect for Santa’s nose.
