Supplies Needed
- Nutcracker Template download
- Printer or access to printer (This is my favorite and the one I’ve had for years!)

- school glue
- scissors
Steps to Making Your Own Nutcracker
- Print out your template(s).
- Color in the pieces of the nutcracker. You could also trace these onto different pieces of cardstock and glue the nutcracker together!
- Cut out the pieces. This is a great way to work on those fine motor skills! But be sure to supervise any kiddo with scissors or help by having an adult cut out the pieces.
- Glue the pieces of the nutcracker onto a piece of paper or cardstock. I had mine holding his hands up in a waving pose as if he was dancing.
