10 Craft Ideas to do With Santas Workshop Coloring Pages
Once those finished coloring pages start piling up, these easy, affordable crafts are the perfect way to bring Santa's bustling North Pole headquarters to life.
1. The Shoebox Toymaker Stage
Cut out your colored elves and toy workbenches from the coloring pages and glue them to popsicle sticks. Next, cut a horizontal slot in the bottom of an empty shoebox, stand the box on its side, and insert your popsicle stick puppets through the slot. Now, kids can put on a live puppet show depicting a busy day of toy-making in the workshop!
2. Elf-in-Training ID Badges
Find the cutest elf character on your colored sheet, color him in, and cut him out carefully. Glue the elf onto a small rectangle of sturdy poster board, write your child’s name in bold letters, and punch a hole at the top. Thread a piece of green yarn or a pipe cleaner through the hole to make a wearable badge for your official workshop helpers.
3. “Pack the Sleigh” Wall Game
Draw a large outline of Santa's sleigh on a sheet of red poster board and tape it to the wall. Have children cut out all the colored toys, teddy bears, and gift boxes from their finished coloring pages. Attach a piece of poster putty to the back of each toy so kids can take turns “loading” the colored gifts into the sleigh before Christmas Eve.
4. North Pole Workshop Signpost
Cut out the colored workshop building or “Santa's Workshop” sign from your finished page and glue it onto an arrow-shaped piece of cardboard. Wrap a wooden dowel in red and white pipe cleaners to look like a candy cane, then glue your arrow sign to the top. Plant the dowel into a small paper cup filled with playdough to create a standing desk decoration.
5. Wearable Elf Toolbelt
Cut out the coloring page illustrations of workshop tools like hammers, paintbrushes, and wrenches. Measure and cut a thick strip of brown construction paper that fits comfortably around your child's waist, securing the ends with tape. Glue the colored paper tools along the front of the belt so your little builder is ready to assemble some holiday toys.
6. Stained Glass Toy Factory Window
Cut out the window outlines from a colored workshop exterior page, carefully removing the inner paper sections to leave empty frames. Glue pieces of vibrant, translucent tissue paper over the backs of the openings. Tape the completed page to a sunny window to watch the colorful “lights” of the busy workshop glow during the day.
7. Santa's Workbench Pop-Up Card
Fold a sheet of green cardstock in half, and cut two parallel slits along the fold to create a pop-up tab. Cut out the colored figure of Santa working at his bench from your coloring sheet and glue him onto the front of the tab. When you open the card, Santa pops up in his busy workshop, ready to wish the recipient a Merry Christmas.
8. Santa’s Mailroom Letter Holder
Take an empty, clean tissue box and wrap the outside in festive red construction paper. Cut out the colored fireplace, mail bag, or “Letters to Santa” graphics from your coloring sheets and glue them to the front of the box. Use this custom organizer to collect and hold your family's real letters to the North Pole.
9. Chief Elf Gearhead Hat
Roll a large sheet of green construction paper into a classic cone shape and tape it secure to make an elf hat. Cut out the colored gears, clocks, and helper elf ears from your completed coloring pages. Glue these workshop elements around the brim of the hat, and top it off with a fluffy white cotton ball.
10. Workshop Scrap-Wood Building Blocks
Gather some clean, leftover wooden blocks or small cardboard jewelry boxes. Cut out different sections of the colored workshop backgrounds—like brick walls, wooden shelves, and toy piles—and mod-podge or glue them to the faces of the blocks. Kids can now use these customized blocks to stack and build their own miniature 3D North Pole scenes.
