We love this Santa Finger Puppet craft! The printable Santa finger puppet template makes it super easy to make. This are such a fun interactive Christmas craft for kids and a great way to encourage imaginative play and story telling.

The Santa finger puppet template comes in full colour and B/W. The colour version has 8 multicultural skin colours to choose from. The B/W version can be either coloured in or traced around onto coloured cardstock.

These Santa puppets have concertina folded hats and scissor cut beards which gives them a lovely 3D element and lots of opportunities for kids to develop their fine motor skills.

Pop your fingers through the holes and walk your fingers to make Santa Claus stroll around, hop, skip and jump! Ho, ho, ho!

(Post and template updated 15/7/20 there is a small charge.)
