Two Father Christmas Crafts

All my crafts are planned for Christmas now bar one, and I decided to do a Father Christmas craft, but I couldn't decide which one to do - a paper plate Father Christmas that we'd done a several years ago or a triangle Father Christmas that I'd experimented with last year. Whilst I was playing, I also tried a paper cup Father Christmas but that is more suitable for old children.

The paper plate Father Christmas has a large pink circle in the middle, a paper hat, cotton wool beard and trimmings, googly eyes and a pink foam nose. It's fairly low prep when you have to make thirty. Funnily the first thing R (9) did when she picked it up was exactly the same as she did three years earlier and held it up in front of her face.

The Triange Father Christmas was made using an A5 piece of red card - cut into a triangle shape with a 1cm flat point. The face was made from a pink circle with a flat top cut from the top. The boots and belt were cut from black card. Again, cotton wool beard (obviously), and gem nose.

So which Father Christmas to go for? Funnily the adults prefer the triangle Father Christmas, but the child all prefer the paper plate one, so the paper plate one wins... it is the children who are making it after all.

EDIT: We went for the paper plates and don't they look fabulous, every Father Christmas is full of character, and it's nice and big and hands on for little hands.
