Catholic Advent Crafts for Kids – Saint Nicholas

Celebrating St Nicholas is one of my children’s favorite Advent activities! They love this fun craft of turning chocolate Santas into Saint Nicholas.

Part of the legend of St Nicholas includes finding coins in a shoe. You can create your own St Nicholas Chocolate Coins to hide in your house using a template. While you’re busy eating chocolate, learn more with these St Nicholas printables.
