Glowing Santa Claus Head
Using a plastic globe, fluffy cotton, and an LED candle, children bring to life an adorable glowing Santa Claus head. Simply stick on the eyes and nose, wrap the globe with cotton to form the beard, and gently place the red hat on top. Once the LED candle is inside, the magic happens: Santa Claus glows with a soft, warm light. A simple and quick activity for a Christmas decoration that will brighten winter evenings!
Why we love this activity?
- A soft and soothing light: The LED candle transforms Santa Claus into a perfect nightlight for cozy year-end evenings.
- The joy of handling cotton: Spreading glue and forming Santa's beard with cotton is a very sensory and enjoyable activity for little hands.
- To adapt for other characters: Why not create a glowing snowman or a little mischievous elf using the same principles, but with different decorative Christmas accessories?
