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 – 1 per craft
  • Brown Tissue Paper
  • White School Glue
  • Craft Scissors
  • Dark Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Red Cardstock Paper
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Circle Craft Punch

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.

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
