Gather your supplies.

All your supplies are pictured here except the plastic plates!

Pour some brown and white onto a paper or plastic plate. Mix them together. Then dip your spatula into the paint. Make sure you cover the entire surface with lots of paint.

SANTA1

On the construction paper, stamp the spatula down. Press it down slightly and hold the sheet of paper as you pull it up.

SANTA3

While the paint is still wet add google eyes so that they will stick without the need for glue.

SANTA5

Pour the white and red paint onto separate plates. Dip the cork into the white paint and create Santa’s beard.

SANTA7

Stamp all around Santa’s face to also create his white hair.

SANTA6

Take a second cork and create Santa’s hat using the red paint.

SANTA8

Give Santa a red nose using the same cork.

SANTA10

Using the white paint and cork give Santa’s hat a white pom pom.

SANTA11

Then using the q-tip dipped in white paint create snow all around Santa!

My 3 year old wanted to make red snow instead of white!

Painting Tips

Sometimes instead of using plastic plates I just pour the paint onto some craft paper beside my daughter. This often easier that using a plate when we are painting and then afterwards I can just throw away the sheet.
