Printable and Foldable Santa Clause Candy Boxes

This is an easy Santa Clause craft. This is a printable craft...just print out this Foldable Papercraft and then color it in with markers, crayons, colored pencils, etc. Then just cut on the solid lines and fold on the dotted lines. Fold the paper together to make a Santa sleigh. Then just put treats in it. You can make it more durable by pasting the paper to cereal box cardboard before cutting and folding...but this is an optional step.
Make a Santa Clause Paper Candy Box with Printable Paper Craft

This is a very easy craft because it is mostly already done for you. Basically just print out a color template or a black and white template (if you want to color them in yourself). If you want to make them sturdier, you can glue the print out to cereal box cardboard first, but it isn't necessary to do this. Print out the template, then cut it out. Then fold on the lines and then glue the tabs in place. Let it dry and then use it to display Christmas candy.
Make a Cute Foldable Santa Clause Christmas Card

This is a printable Christmas card template...you can choose a black and white xmas card template or a colorized xmas card template. Then just color it in (unless you printed out a color template), cut out the rectange, and then fold it in the center so that it stands up like the one pictured above. Then write a message on the inside of the card...like 'Merry Christmas' or whatever you choose to write.
