Send Christmas greetings with one of my DIY Santa Pop up card crafts for kids!! These are so much fun to make and they make an ideal Christmas card for friends and family.

I love sending Christmas greetings to my friends and so do my children. This year we decided to make a few pop up cards for Christmas.

The kids thought it would be a great idea to send one card to their entire class as opposed to individual cards. These DIY pop up cards are a great idea. The teacher can stick it to the blackboard after passing it around all the pupils.

The benefits of these are that they encourage creativity and little ones imagination. Not to mention the fact it is cheaper to make one card for the class as opposed to sending one to everyone. It is also good for the environment; we do not want to be wasting paper do we.

If you do not want a Santa themed one you can make my Snowman pop up card instead

I have made lots of new Santa crafts this year as my children love the man in red.
