This free printable Santa cut and paste craft is a no-prep way for children to practice fine motor skills, handwriting, hand-eye coordination, and gluing skills.

In addition to the cut and paste Santa Claus craft, each page also has space to trace the word "Santa." The craft is available in three versions - two different skin tones and a black and white coloring page Santa.

​Materials needed for an easy Santa craft

This Santa cut and paste craft is available in both color and black and white. There are two different skin tones so your early learners can pick whichever they prefer.

To make this Santa craft, you will need:

• Your free printable (look for the row of purple arrows pointing at the download button)
• Printer access and paper or card stock
• Blunt tipped scissors
• Glue stick
• Preschool pencil or something else to write and trace with
• Colored pencils or crayons, if you're using the coloring page version

My daughter likes to trace and write the word on her cut and paste worksheets before coloring or cutting out the pieces. It's easiest for little learners to write on the page while it's still intact.

Coloring the Santa face is easiest before cutting out the pieces.

Next, cut out the pieces.

Glue the pieces together to make a Santa face. For best results, glue the beard to the face, then glue the mouth/mustache on top of the beard. Add the hat to the top of the head, then glue the white hat brim in place.

That's it! This is a super easy, no-prep craft that your kids will be enjoying just minutes from now. Glue your completed Santa face to a large craft stick to quickly and easily make a stick puppet.
