Reindeer Puppet Made From A Paper Bag
Have you seen all the Christmas themed kid crafts I’ve been sharing lately on Glued To My Crafts? Tons of great stuff has been happening on the blog and I hope my tutorials have been inspiring you!
So with that being said, I still have a few more kid friendly craft ideas to share in the next few days but first let’s talk about this adorable red nose Paper Bag Reindeer Puppet kid craft idea.
With simple supplies and steps, this is the perfect last-minute reindeer themed kid craft to do in honor of the holiday season. Plus it doubles as a puppet that you can use for a Christmas play and/or story time event!
It even has the special touch of handprints for antlers {my fav!} so it doubles as a sweet keepsake piece you can slide into the Christmas decor box at the end of the season.
So without further ado – I want YOU to create some magic of your own this season with our step-by-step tutorial that you can find below. Don’t be scared to add your own personal touches as well!
Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your reindeer puppet made from a paper bag on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see! #gluedtomycrafts
