Supplies

• Colored cardstock or construction paper
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Reindeer template (enter your email in the form at the end of the post to have the link sent to you)

Directions

Download the reindeer template, print, and cut out the pieces.

Begin to make the reindeer by gluing the mouth piece to the reindeer’s head. Next, glue the eyes just below the eyebrows.

Take the nose and glue it just above the mouth in the middle.

Finish off the head by gluing the antlers to the top and back of the reindeer’s head.

Glue the completed reindeer head onto a piece of red paper and cut it out so it has a border surrounding it.

Grab a blank red piece of paper and glue the writing prompt to the paper. Off-center it so there is more room at the top of the paper so you can glue the reindeer there.

Take the reindeer’s head and backing and glue it to the top of the writing prompt paper.

Make the reindeer’s legs by gluing the hooves to the end of the legs.

Next, take the hooves and glue them on either side of the reindeer’s head so it looks like it’s holding the paper.

Finish off by completing the writing prompt!

Isn’t this a cute Christmas craft for kids to make? We love how it’s fun and educational!
