This fun paper craft is a wonderful way for kids to honor Mrs. Claus this Christmas season and will look fantastic alongside the rest of your holiday décor.

The craft features fun accordion legs and arms, giving Mrs. Claus a playful, springy movement that children love.

The free 7-page printable template makes assembly easy, providing all the necessary pieces to cut out and glue.

Whether your children are older and can assemble this on their own, or if little ones need help with the cutting and gluing, this Christmas craft is sure to be a beloved addition to your home!

Assembly and Age Appropriateness 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

The complexity of this craft makes it fun for a wide range of ages.

You can tailor the level of adult involvement based on your child’s skill level.

Tips for Crafting Together

  • For Younger Children: Adults can handle the printing and initial cutting of the pieces. Children can then focus on the assembly, gluing the body pieces together, adding the face details, and attaching the accordion limbs.
  • For Older Children: They can easily print, cut, and assemble the entire craft independently, including drawing the facial features with a black marker and adding a rosy cheek with apink crayon.

Mastering the Accordion Limbs ✨

The accordion fold is the element that brings this Mrs. Claus craft to life!

Accordion Fold Instructions

  • The Strips: You will need to cut four 2-inch wide strips of red paper for her arms and legs.
  • The Fold: To create the springy effect, carefully create an accordion fold in each paper strip by going back and forth lengthwise until the entire strip is folded. Consistency in the folds will create the best spring.
  • Attaching: Simply use a glue stick to secure the accordion arms and legs to the main body piece.
