You start by cutting out a triangle shape from the paper which will be Santa’s hat. At the top of the triangle place a cotton ball and then glue it. Color the triangle red and you have created Santa’s hat. Cut from the paper a circle that you will use as Santa’s face, cut out two small circles and paint them red these will be Santa’s cheeks and a smaller red circle which is Santa’s nose. At the bottom end of the circle place some cotton which will be the beard. Draw two eyes on the top. Staple the hat and the face together.
