Draw – Santa Going Down the Chimney (Imagination Drawing Activity for Kids)

Description

This fun and festive worksheet encourages kids to imagine the magical moment when Santa Claus goes down the chimney on Christmas Eve. With the prompt and chimney outline in place, children have the freedom to draw the rest of the scene—whether it’s gifts flying, reindeer waiting, a cozy living room inside, or a surprised pet at home. It’s an engaging way to combine creativity, storytelling, and seasonal fun.

What’s Inside

Here’s what children and teachers/parents will find:

• A clearly labelled title: “Draw – Santa going down the chimney”.

• A simple line art image of a chimney at the bottom of the page.

• Ample blank drawing space above for children to add their own characters, setting, details.

• A prompt that invites children’s imagination rather than just colouring in.

• Suitable for Christmas-themed learning, holiday craft time, or relaxed drawing activity.

Why It’s Useful

• For kids: It’s a fun way to visualise a beloved Christmas story moment, and they get to decide what happens—imagine Santa’s arrival, what he brings, who’s in the room, etc.

• For classrooms or homeschool: It makes a great seasonal activity, used as a warm-up, creative break, or after a discussion about Christmas traditions.

• Supports drawing and storytelling skills: Kids practise planning a scene, placing elements, thinking of narrative (who’s there, what’s happening).

• Low-prep for teachers/parents: Just print and go—minimal instructions, big drawing space.

• Flexible for age ranges: Younger kids can draw simple shapes; older kids can add more detail, write a caption, or even colour it in as well.

Instructions on How to Use It

1. Introduce the theme: Explain to children the idea of Santa arriving on Christmas Eve and going down the chimney to deliver gifts. Maybe show them a short picture or read a quick story.

2. Hand out the worksheet and provide drawing tools (pencils, crayons, markers).

3. Prompt them:

   • “Who do you imagine is in the room when Santa comes in?”

   • “What gifts is he carrying? What does the room look like?”

   • “What time is it? What’s outside the window?”

4. Let them draw: Encourage them to fill in the scene however they like—background, characters, animals, reactions, special lights, and details.

5. Optional extension: After drawing, ask them to add a caption or speech bubble (e.g., “Wow, Santa’s here!”) or write 1-2 sentences describing the scene they drew.

6. Share & display: Let children show their drawings to each other and talk about what they drew. Display the artwork on a classroom wall or fridge to celebrate their creativity.

This “Draw – Santa Going Down the Chimney” worksheet is a perfect festive activity to spark creativity, storytelling and holiday excitement. It’s simple, fun and flexible—which means children can make it their own. Ready to print and watch some magical drawings come to life!
