Fun Christmas Craft for Kids


Christmas Crafts for Kids - Reindeer Craft Treat Holder

A Reindeer craft that kids can make and give as a gift.
These whimsical little reindeer can serve as place card holders
for a holiday table, party favors, or give a large reindeer as a gift,
filled with the recipients favorite candy!

They are an easy and inexpensive craft for classrooms or scout troops.


You'll Need:
Scissors
Craft glue, glue stick or glue dots
Terracotta clay pots; 2"-5"
Plastic eyes
Red pom-poms (glitter pom-poms are a fun addition!)
Three shades of brown craft foam, cardstock paper or construction paper;
we combined all three to make our reindeer family.


parts pictured for the large reindeer
2 antlers
2 large ears
2 small ears
2 eyes
one red nose

How to Make It:
First, with one shade of brown, cut the antlers to match the size of
your pot. If you are making the larger reindeer, use a child's handprint as pattern. Then, cut the ears with the other brown. We used a lighter shade of brown to add yet another layer to the ears but that's not necessary.

Attach they ears to the back of the pot. Then add the antlers.

Glue the eyes and nose the front. Fill the pot with candy, nuts or other goodies. It's that simple!

Happy Easter! Handprint Wreath

EASTER HANDS WREATH

It's fun to compare and see how they've grown doing these year after year.

Materials you will need for this wreath are glue, scissors, and three colors of pastel paint or construction paper.

There are two ways to do this craft.

One is to trace the child's hand onto paper and cut out the prints.

The second is to make paint handprints on the paper and cut those out.

Make nine handprints (3 of each colour).

Cut out the prints and glue to form a wreath.

You can decorate the wreath further with pictures.
  • stickers!
  • hand drawn artwork
  • pictures from coloring books
  • magazines or fliers
  • photos

OPTIONAL: put a saying in the center of the wreath ... "Little hands made by God"
