Christmas Crafts: Handprint Reindeer

My oldest daughter made a reindeer craft years ago, but I love it so much I hang it every year. If you’ve read even a few of my posts, you know I love making handprint crafts like handprint angels, handprint turkeys and handprint spiders. This Christmas craft has the bonus plan though. It uses your kid’s footprint too!

Here’s What You Need to Make a Handprint (and Footprint!) Reindeer:

• Green, brown, red and white construction paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• Black marker
  

Here’s How to Make a Handprint Reindeer:

1. Trace both handprints and one footprint (with shoes) on the brown construction paper.

2. Cut out the handprints and glue them to the top of the green construction paper.

3. Cut out the footprint and glue it so it slightly overlaps the handprints.

4. Cut out two circles from the white construction paper for the reindeer’s eyes.

5. Cut out one circle from the red construction paper for the reindeer’s nose.

6. Glue on the reindeer’s eyes and nose.

7. Use a black marker to “dot the eyes” and make the reindeer’s mouth.

Now you too have a handprint reindeer to hang up every year!
