Materials

  • Cardboard sheets (cut into 5 pieces, about 4"x6" each)
  • Corrugated cardboard for frame borders
  • Red, green, and blue cardstock (A4 size)
  • Washable paints (white, brown, red, green, black, and yellow, 1 oz each)
  • Paintbrush and fine-tip marker
  • Googly eyes (10 pieces, 0.5")
  • Small craft pom-poms (12 pieces, assorted colors)
  • Glue stick and craft scissors
  • Optional: small star stickers or sequins for decoration

Instructions

  • Cut out cardboard bases for your frames and glue colored cardstock onto each one to serve as the background.
  • Dip your fingertip into paint to create characters such as brown for reindeer, white for snowmen, green for trees, and pink for Santa faces. Let each print dry for about 10 minutes.
  • Once dry, add details with a fine marker and small brush: antlers, buttons, scarves, hats, and smiles. Then attach googly eyes or pom-poms for extra charm.
  • Cut and glue corrugated cardboard around each artwork to create a frame. You can choose square or oval shapes for variety.
