Paper Plate Reindeer Craft

This is a great and easy Christmas craft for kids! All you need are some paper plates, brown tissue paper, and red cardstock paper. Let your child’s creativity shine as they make their very own reindeer!

Craft Supplies:

Large Paper Plate {one per reindeer craft}
Brown Tissue Paper
White School Glue
Craft Scissors
Dark Brown Cardstock Paper
Red Cardstock Paper
White Cardstock Paper
Circle Craft Punch
Hand-Held Office Stapler
Black Marker

Directions:

First cut your paper plate to look like a reindeer head. {see above picture}
Discard the cut off pieces.
Next cut your brown tissue paper into small squares.
Put a good amount of glue all over the paper plate cutout.
Have your child place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered.
Set aside to let it dry completely.
While that is drying, trace your child’s hands on some brown cardstock.
Trim those out. These are the reindeer antlers. Set aside.
Out of the other cardstock, cut out the eyes and nose for the reindeer.
To finish off the Paper Plate Reindeer craft, staple/glue on the antlers, eyes and nose.
Then display proudly for all to see!
