Children's Christmas Art:
Reindeer Handprint


Copyright © 2006-2008 Jane Lake All Rights Reserved

Here's a nice group activity for younger kids. Based on hand prints and foot prints that are traced, cut and glued in place, this Christmas craft is easy to do with pleasing results.

Reindeer Art


Supply List:

  • brown construction paper, for the reindeer's face


  • yellow or gold construction paper, for the antlers


  • white, green or red construction paper, or poster paper, as the base page


  • red pom pom or small wad of red tissue paper


  • black and white crayons or markers, or google eyes


  • school glue or glue sticks


  • Project Instructions:


    Distribute the supplies, then follow these easy how-to's:

    1. First have the children trace around their shoe on brown construction paper and cut out the shape.

    2. Next, have the children trace around both their hands, onto yellow or gold construction paper. Cut these shapes out.

    3. Glue the shoe shape on another piece of construction or poster paper, for the face of the reindeer. Glue the hands on as antlers.

    4. Glue on a red pom pom or a ball of red tissue paper as the reindeer's nose, and either draw on eyes or glue on google eyes.

    5. Optional: color in black eyebrows and a nose band.

    6. Have the children write their names on the back of their reindeer art and display on the walls or send home for Mom to display on the fridge.

    This project was great fun for my to little cousins( 1 and 3).
    They came for Christmas and the oldest 3 was super exicted and can you guess what i did? I made one of this reindeer with him and it hangs on our tree every year.
    To let it hang I glued a small piece of thread in a loop and that little reindeer is still hanging
    guess how old my cousin is now he is fifteen

    Thank you for posting this fun and easy project. I teach Early Childhood Special Education, and the children need creative projects that are geared towards their ability levels. Your ideas are very much appreciated by teachers who are always on the go!

    I helped my four grandkids (ages 2-5) make these adorable reindeer. They'll give them to their parents at my house on Christmas Eve. I'll have them line up in front of the fireplace, singing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" as they each hold up their Rudolph.
