Giant Santa Collage

Giant Santa Collage

Posted 2014-11-24 by Jane Streetfollow
This is a fun Christmas craft to do with a group of children. Create giant Santa outlines by drawing round the children on long rolls of paper - they can then decorate their Santa in any style they choose! Try hanging the Santa collage on a door to make a bright Christmas decoration.



Time: 40 minutes
Age: Under 5s, 5 to 10s
Level: Easy

Materials
  • Long roll of paper (we used a roll of craft paper from IKEA)
  • Masking tape
  • Sharpie pen
  • Glue
  • Red paint, pen or crayons
  • Various red collage materials - try scraps of paper, feathers, recycled packaging, pieces of Christmas wrapping paper etc.
  • Black paper for boots and belt
  • Cotton wool pads or balls for Santa's hair and beard

  • Method
  • Cut long pieces of paper from the roll. Use masking tape to secure the long pieces of paper to the floor.
  • Get a child to lie down on a piece of paper and draw round with a thick pen. Stand up to reveal the Santa outline.
  • Have fun decorating the Santa outline with paint, pens, collage items etc.



  • Stick on boots and a belt cut out from black paper (or you could collage these items too)
  • Stick on a red hat cut out from red paper.
  • Try adding cotton wool pads or balls to make a furry rim on the hat and a fluffy beard.



  • When dry, display your Santa on a door or wall.
