This simple craft begins with a coloring book page -- and takes the craft a step further to make a simple, but unique Santa piece of art.

What You’ll Need

* Santa Coloring Book
* White Construction Paper
* Glue Stick
* Crayons
* Cotton Balls
* Black Buttons and a Red Button
* Cardboard
* Frame

Instructions

There are a variety of Santa coloring books available during the holidays. Choose a picture from the book. Cut out the picture of Santa, and place the picture in the center of a sheet of white construction paper. Use a glue stick to secure the picture.

Color the picture with crayons. Once the picture is finished, place cotton balls to cover Santa’s beard, and one at the end of his hat. You can even glue black buttons for Santa’s eyes, and a red button for his nose. Decorate the blank area of the white construction paper by drawing candy canes or trees. When the picture is completed, your kids can sign their names directly under the picture.

Take a piece of cardboard and glue the picture to it. Place the picture in a frame, and place the frame in a special place in your home for all to see and admire.
