Supplies

• Colored card stock or construction paper
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Reindeer card template (unlock the image at the end of the post to go to the download page)

Directions

Start by downloading the template and printing it out. Once the template is printed, gather the materials for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this reindeer card to life!

Pin

First, guide your child to take the reindeer head page and fold along the dashed lines. Cut out the reindeer head, but do not cut along the top, flat part of the head. This is the fold line of the card.

Pin

Place the eyes on the front of the card, about 1.5″ from the bottom of the head, and glue in the middle.

Pin

Next, help your child place the mouth area on the card, overlapping the eyes slightly. Glue in place.

Pin

Take the reindeer’s black or red nose and glue it just above the mouthline.

Pin

Glue the reindeer’s antlers to the top of the folded part of the card in the middle of the head.

Pin

Complete the reindeer’s ears by gluing the inner ear to the outer ear. Once the ears are finished, glue them to the back and side of the card.

*Make sure you leave enough space for the antlers to fit between the ears. If you don’t, the card won’t open properly.*

Pin

Pin

Finally, encourage your child to open up and write a message inside the card.
