Santa's Christmas Adventure Map - DIY Craft Guide

Embark on a magical journey with our "Santa's Christmas Adventure Map" crafting project! Perfect for kids who love to explore their artistic side, this digital download provides a fun and interactive activity. Children can color in the Christmas-themed adventure map, cut it out, and then move Santa and his reindeer along for endless imaginative play.

Materials & Supplies 

Step 1: Color the Neighborhood

Use your favorite colors to decorate the neighborhood on the map. Feel free to unleash your creativity and choose whatever colors you prefer!

Step 2: Snip & Roll


Carefully cut along the large dotted lines around the map's edge. Roll the map into a cylinder lengthwise, ensuring the bottom layer is tucked underneath. Align the roads and tape the edges together to secure the cylinder shape.

Step 3: Put a Ring On It 

Cut a strip of transparent paper about 2 inches wide, and long enough to wrap around your map. I used some clear plastic packaging from my last amazon purchase. 

Step 4: Pack Up the Sleigh

Color in Santa and his reindeer at the top of page 2. Then cut them out carefully. Tape each character to the transparent paper ring.

Step 5: Assemble the Map and Ring

Slide the transparent ring around the cylinder to help Santa deliver the toys to the neighborhood!

Alternative Using the Template

  • Instructions:

    • If you're using the template instead of transparent paper, follow the same coloring and cutting process.

    • Cut along the straight lines instead of around the characters on page 2.



And there you have it! A delightful Christmas Adventure Map ready to charm any gathering. Enjoy your crafting!
