1. Create a Santa-themed classroom door! – These two doors are so fun to make and will definitely bring a smile to your students before walking into your classroom. Simply use butcher paper and cotton to cut the pieces to size to create an entire Santa or just his Santa suit. For more Christmas door ideas, click on the images below.
2. Santa Gift Bags– These Santa bags are so easy to make with FREE TRACERS! Use the free tracers to cut out the pieces and then glue them onto a paper gift bag of choice. These are wonderful if your students are passing out small gifts to each other during their Holiday Party or for them to store their Holiday arts and crafts to take home.
3. Santa Procedural Craft- This whimsical craftivity was inspired by the book How Santa Lost His Ho! Ho! Ho! picture book! After reading the story, distribute the parts from my Santa Craft packet to each student to assemble to create their own Santa. Beneath Santa’s beard is a writing template for students to offer their ideas on how to help Santa get his laughter back.
4. Turkey Claus Craftivity– Have you read TURKEY CLAUS yet? If not, grab it now because it’s hilarious and will get your students squealing to create their own Turkey Claus disguises and write about it!
5. Roll a Christmas Story- Recreate this anchor chart with your class to help them create a new Christmas story over and over again in December! Model it, create it together, then have your students make their own! If you want the complete packet with different templates and all the details, click here.
