Santa Clause Felt Activity

Young children enjoy hands on experiences. This felt board activity allows young children to put together Santa Claus themselves, not unlike dress up dolls. The song, Must Be Santa can be used to put the pieces together, whether at a circle time with an Early Childhood Educator or in a home environment.

To make this felt board activity,  find thick paper to make the templates for all they lyrics, then draw them, cut the fabric out and decorate the felt material. Santa will have the following pieces:

• head/face with rosy cheeks
• white moustache and white beard
• red and white hat red
• white coat red pants 
• black buckle 
• black boots
•  red mittens 
• Santa's bag
