This Santa egg carton craft is a recycled kids craft that creates a fun Christmas craft that children will love to create as a DIY toy.

Egg cartons are a popular choice for craft material for many reasons. They are readily available for most households and using them for crafting is an inexpensive and great way to use recyclables. Egg cartons are easy to cut, shape, and paint. They can be manipulated with basic craft tools, making them a great material for both children and adults.

The texture of egg carton material can add an interesting element to crafts. It can be painted, decorated, or even covered with other materials like paper, fabric, or clay. Egg carton crafts are typically lightweight, making them suitable for a variety of projects, including ornaments, masks, and small sculptures.

Common egg carton craft projects include making flowers, insects, animals, masks, and ornaments. With a bit of creativity, egg cartons can be transformed into unique and beautiful creations. In addition to this Santa egg carton craft, we have made a handful of Christmas and Winter egg carton crafts, including:

  • Reindeer Egg Carton Craft for Kids
  • Egg Carton Penguin Craft
  • Polar Bear Egg Carton Craft
  • Christmas Tree Egg Carton Craft for Kids
  • Angel Egg Carton Craft for Kids

Santa Egg Carton Craft

This adorable recycled kids craft creates Santa out of egg cartons! Use this in a Christmas sensory bin or as a DIY toy for kids. 

What you need for the Santa egg carton craft:

  • egg carton cups
  • scissors
  • popsicle stick
  • red paint
  • google eyes
  • white fur
  • red felt
  • black paper
  • glue

How to make the Santa craft

Begin by painting the bottom two cups red, this will be Santa’s suit. The top cup will be his face. 

Use cut popsicle sticks glued with hot glue as spacers for the egg carton cups to make Santa’s body longer. Then, stack the red cups as his body and attach his head to the top with glue.

 

Create Santa’s face by folding glueing googly eyes and a red pom-pom nose on the egg carton, then attach some white felt, fur or pulled cotton ball on as a beard. 

Create a hat out of red felt with some cotton on the end and glue it to the head. 

Cut a belt and feet out of black paper to attach to the bottom of the body. Children can get creative here, no two Santa suits have to look the same. My child chose a belly button in stead of a belt 🙂

 

Attach all of the pieces together and create a Santa egg carton craft! He’s a cute little guy, perfect as an addition to a Christmas sensory bin or just to play with or display.
