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.

    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.

    I love this project! I am going to do it with my class and I made a little poem to go with it. I thought readers might want to use it to go along with this project.

    Here’s a cute reindeer as you can see
    Looking close, he’ll remind you of me
    Because my foot, I did trace
    To make his funny little face
    With both my hands I traced with care
    To make some antlers for him to wear
    I hope you keep him for years because
    Then you’ll remember how little I was!
