Art and Play is momstown Edmonton's flagship monthly event. We love getting together for a great theme-based craft and some fun play afterwards. This month at momstown, Santa is on his way, and we wanted to include him in our Art and Play event! After reading a great book called "Tyrannoclaus" by Janet Lawler, we gathered around the tables to make these great Santa Claus faces out of paper plates and cotton balls!
These are very easy to do. Just paint the face a peach color, cut a red hat out of cardstock, and get some cotton balls to make the beard and hair. Glue down the red hat, the cotton balls, some eyes, and a red pom pom for his nose. You could even add a mouth and some rosy cheeks with a marker if you'd like! One thing we found was that if you pull the cotton balls apart just a little, the beard and hair looked much better.
After our Santa faces were made, we just had to bring out the parachute. The kids always love parachute time, and this month was no exception. The hit of parachute time is always when we make a "mushroom," run underneath, and sit down under the parachute until it slowly falls down around us. Parachute time is a great way to get some energy out--especially on these cold winter days in Edmonton!
