What do you get when you put together a red ball ornament, some paint and a cotton ball? A cute Santa ornament craft activity that results in lots of fun with the kids.

What you'll need:

  • Red plastic ball ornament
  • Flesh colored craft paint
  • Q-tips
  • 2 (10 mm) Wiggle eyes (or whatever size you wish)
  • Cotton ball
  • Glue

How to make it:

  1. Paint with Q-tips a large circle of flesh colored craft paint. (This makes the face)
  2. Let dry.
  3. Glue on wiggle eyes.
  4. Tear off a small part of the cotton ball.
  5. Stretch the cotton to fit across the top of the face. Glue in place.
  6. Stretch the rest of the cotton to fit across the bottom of the face. Pull down a bit on the cotton to make the beard. Glue in place.
  7. Let dry.
  8. Hang on your tree or give as a gift.
  9. Enjoy!

Tips:

You might be able to find plastic ball ornaments at Hobby Lobby. You can use glass ornaments but be careful with young crafters.
