If you aren’t sick of Christmas yet… or you need something to do while the kiddos are on school break, have Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Day!
First, paint on Rudolph noses…
Then grab your art stuff! You’ll need: construction paper in dark brown, light brown & red, black buttons, red pom poms, pen, pipe cleaners, glue and lots of glitter!
Reindeer craft #1:
Trace you lil’ one’s foot (sans individual toes) on the light brown paper.
Trace both their hands on the dark brown paper.
Cut.
Glue the hands (aka antlers) to the top of the foot (aka reindeer head).
Us a red pom pom for the red noes and 2 black buttons for the eyes and let your lil’ ones draw on a mouth.
Add (loads) white or silver glitter to the antlers for snow.
Our reindeer right before we put the snow on the antlers.
Reindeer craft #2:
Trace hands on brown construction paper.
Round out the wrist area while cutting out the hand.
Glue on pipe cleaner antlers and a red nose.
Add a glitter bridal…
Watch this like 20 times…
Then head on over to etsy and fall into the etsy vortex looking at awesome reindeer stuff…
