I recommend printing the Santa Emotions Spinner Template on 8.5x11 white cardstock paper.
Step 2: Color The Santa Emotions Spinner Template
Now, it's time for your little artist to break out the crayons, markers, or colored pencils. Encourage them to express themselves through their art. Whether it's a happy, angry, or sad let their creativity soar. This step is not only about coloring but also a great opportunity to talk to your kids about various emotions and what they're thankful for.
Step 3: Cut Out the Santa Emotions Spinner
Help your child carefully cut out the emotions spinner. Be sure to use child-safe scissors, and supervise if needed, especially for younger children.
Step 4: Assemble The Santa Emotions Spinner
Attach a brass fastener through the center of the two circles, ensuring it's secure but can still spin freely. To find the center, remember that "x" marks the spot. Make sure that the circle with faces goes on the bottom.
Step 7: Spin and Emote!
Once the emotions are in place, you can spin the circle to reveal different expressions on your Santa Emotions Spinner. Have a blast changing the different faces!
