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?
How to make this craft step-by-step:
Materials:
For this activity, you will need:

- cotton balls
- a small Santa Claus hat
- a wooden bead Ø 2 cm

- 2 moving eyes Ø 2.5 cm
- an LED candle
- craft glue with brush applicator
Step 1:
Using craft glue, attach two 2.5 cm googly eyes and a 2 cm wooden half-bead to form the nose on the plastic globe.
Allow to dry for a few moments for the glue to set.
Step 2:
Gently stretch about eight cotton balls to create elongated strips that will be used to make Santa Claus's beard and hair.
Step 3:
Using the brush applicator, spread glue on the bottom of the globe and all around the future face.
Step 4:
Immediately glue the prepared cotton to form the beard and hair of Santa Claus, following the shape as shown in the example.
Step 5:
Apply glue to the base of the small hat, then position it immediately on the cotton representing the hair.
Step 6:
Unscrew the globe lid, place it at the center of the wooden stump, and then glue the small decorative gifts around it.
Then, place a lit LED candle in the lid.
Step 7:
Carefully reattach the decorated Santa Claus to its lighted lid.
Step 8:
Turn off the light and admire the result!
