Santa art projects for kids are the perfect way to move ease into that crazy holiday season!
These 10 fantastic Santa art projects will have your little people creating beautiful works of Christmas art in no time! I’ve even snuck a couple of great Santa art inspirations into the post us grown-ups too!
We love everything Santa around this little house! From Santa Parades, to Santa Crafts, to Santa Cookies and Santa snacks! We all wear our Santa hats, tell Santa jokes and some of us (okay, me) makes sure Letters from Santa are sent to as many children as possible!
One of my personal favorites of the season is hanging The Littlest Helper’s newest Christmas artwork up on the wall – they just make my heart smile every time I look up to see Santa and his Reindeer on the wall in their various forms!
I thought it would be fun to share some great Santa art projects I have come across recently. Most of these Santa art projects are for the little folk, and a few are probably more for you – or even better, for you to do together! But without doubt, they are all sure to up the Santa spirit in your home once they are hanging on the wall!
