Colour Your Own Santa Wind Chime Kit

Santa is driving his car, and there's a little house hanging underneath. Everything is wooden and ready to colour in. Use the markers to give Santa his red suit, the car its paint job and the house whatever colours you like, then tie it all together with the metal chimes and string. The finished Christmas wind chime is about 12 x 30cm and hangs straight from a window, hook or doorway.

It's a quick, low-mess Christmas craft that suits kids from 5 years, and the markers mean no paint, no brushes and no water cups to set up.

Where it works well

• School holidays: a quiet, sit-down activity for a hot Australian December afternoon.
• Classrooms and playgroups: markers keep setup and clean-up simple, and each child ends up with their own decoration to take home.
• Christmas parties: a ready-made activity for the kids' table.
• Gifts: a handmade present kids can give to grandparents, teachers or neighbours.
• Stocking fillers: small and flat enough to fit.

Questions

Are the markers included?

Yes. Marker pens come in the kit, so it's ready to colour straight out of the pack.

Can it hang outside?

It suits a covered spot like a porch, patio or window. The shapes are plywood, so keep it out of rain and direct weather to protect the colouring and the wood.

What age is it for?

Recommended for ages 5 and up. Younger children will need an adult to help with the chimes and string.

Can I make several for a class or party?

Each kit makes one wind chime, so order one per child. Browse more Christmas craft and wooden craft ideas to go with it.
