Step 1. For your kids’ activities, you can help them making this DIY Christmas decoration table setting by drawing the details of Santa Clause face, such as mustache, hat, face and so on. You can draw the templates on a piece of drawing paper. After all templates ready, cut them one by one using the scissors.
Step 2. Ask your kids to paste each template on the construction paper. For the hat template, use the red and white construction papers. Use the white construction paper for the mustache. While for the face, use the soft pink one. After the templates are being pasted on the construction papers, ask your kids to cut them using the scissors.
Step 3. Glue the templates altogether. First, glue the bottom circling part of the face with the paper glue. Then, attach the white mustache on the bottom part of the face. Let them set for awhile to dry.
Step 4. Then, glue the top circling part of the face to attach the hat. First, attach the red triangle on the top part of the hat. After this part is dry, glue the white part of the hat and attach it on the bottom part of the hat. Let them all dry for awhile.
Step 5. To make it look like the Santa Clause face, you can add some decorations. Take the small googly eyes and attach each of them on the face. Then, make small circle from the construction paper to make the nose. Take some cornflakes to decorate the Santa Clause face as seen in the picture. Don’t forget to make the mouth and glue the top part of the mouth on the back of the Santa’s face. This mouth will be used to insert the paper napkin later on.
Step 6. For the serviette, take one piece of paper napkin. Fold the napkin as shown in the picture.
Step 7. Then, insert the top pointed part of the napkin on the back of Santa Clause face. To attach it, insert the paper napkin between the layer of the face and mouth with the folding side facing upwards.
