Popsicle Stick Santas
Hi there! It’s Megan again from Homemade Ginger and I’m excited to share another fun ornament with you all today. These popsicle stick Santas are absolutely adorable and a little addictive to make!
Do your kids believe in Santa? We are not huge into Santa around here, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love to pretend. None of my kids have believed in Santa so far. In fact, they’ve always been a little terrified on anyone dressed up as Santa! I can’t blame them, it can be quite intimidating for a baby to be placed on a strange bearded man’s lap at the mall.
Now that they are a little older, my kids all love to pretend that Santa is coming even if they don’t really believe he’s real. Whether your kiddos are big Santa believers or not, these little popsicle stick ornaments are the perfect afternoon craft for kids of all ages. They are so adorable and would look so sweet hanging on the tree this year.
