How to Make a Hand and Foot Reindeer Decoration

Hand-and-foot reindeer decorations make great classroom or group activities. These simple construction paper reindeers are made from basic craft materials, and your child's hand and foot prints. You can hang these little crafts up around your home, or place some magnets on the back and use it to decorate your fridge this holiday season.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Brown construction paper
• Glue
• Scissors
• Large red craft pompom
• 2 large wiggly craft eyes
• Black marker
• Glitter (optional)

1. Trace two handprints and one footprint onto brown construction paper. When you trace your footprint, be sure that you have a shoe on, so that it will form a rounded shape.

2. Cut out the two handprints and one footprint using scissors.

3. Place the footprint on a flat surface with the toe section pointing up.

4. Glue the two handprints to the edges of the top of the footprint, with the fingers pointing out. These will form the antlers of your reindeer and should be pointing out in opposite directions.

5. Attach the two wiggly craft eyes to the front of the footprint under the antlers.

6. Use glue to apply the red craft pompom nose to the front of the footprint reindeer, underneath the eyes.

7. Draw a smiley mouth on the front of the hand and foot reindeer.

8. Display your reindeer on a wall, or apply some magnet pieces to the back of the reindeer with glue, and hang it up on your fridge.

Tips & Warnings

• Use glitter, bells or ribbon to decorate the antlers of your hand-and-foot reindeer.
• Use red and black buttons for a nose and eyes if you do not have a craft pompom or wiggly eyes.
• Supervise children when they are using scissors.
