Hi friends! With Christmas just around the corner, I figured I would share another SIMPLE handprint reindeer keepsake kid craft idea that can be easily framed and turned into a gift on the fly.

This Christmas themed reindeer keepsake idea is super easy to make within minutes and it’s relatively inexpensive too. If you have a printer in your home – you are well on your way to pulling this together and creating a sweet keepsake to treasure for years to come {plus the finished piece fits nicely in a scrapbook too!}

In this post, I’ve included a FREE reindeer face printable template, so all you need to do is print the file, grab some paint and have your children add their handprints to make antlers & complete the craft with ease. It’s so simple – you have NO excuse NOT to do it!

So what are you waiting for? Download the FREE file below and get to work on helping your child bring to life this adorable painted handprint antler art project idea today! Then place the beautiful Christmas reindeer themed paper piece in a beautiful frame or in a scrapbook for the lucky receiver {think grandparents, close friends, mom, dad etc!} Whatever you decide to do with with it – I hope you enjoy making it with your child this holiday season!

Happy crafting this blessed holiday, my dear friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s handprint Christmas reindeer keepsake on our Facebook page, for us to admire! #gluedtomycrafts
