Keep your Santa Claus drawing easy by making him with symmetrical shapes. It really helps students see and draw in a logical kind of way.
Coloring Santa will call for a bright red color, against a blue sky, if you are going for traditional holiday look. Markers, crayons and colored pencils will all work great.
I’d avoid the oil pastels as they may end up smearing over all that nice white trim on his suit. Nope, Santa needs a little more precision than that. Pastels are great for when smears actually add to the look, not take anything away.
