Get ready for the holidays with some jolly crafting! Help your kids create these cute toilet paper roll reindeer, perfect for spreading festive cheer and making memories.
Looking for a fun and easy way to get your kids into the Christmas spirit? This toilet paper roll reindeer is perfect! It’s one of my favorite craft pieces my son and I have made together a few years back. Be sure to check out the tutorial to see how it’s done.
This creative Christmas craft is perfect for kids. They can help make the reindeer decorations out of recycled materials, and then hang them up to brighten up the holiday season. It’s a fun way to teach your children about recycling and reuse, while also spending some quality time together.
I like to pull it out every Christmas season and place it on the tree. I just nuzzle the toilet paper roll piece between some branches and it sits nicely there.
Then when the season is over, I wrap it in bubble wrap {yes – you read that right} and store it for safe-keeping.
I don’t know why but it’s just one of my FAVORITE pieces ever. Maybe because it was the easiest for us at that age or maybe I just LOVE those little “antler” hands so much {and it makes me a bit sentimental too!}

THE HOW-TO DIRECTIONS:
- If you would like to recreate this reindeer themed craft {and I hope YOU do!} all you need is a clean toilet paper roll {or paper towel roll cut down} some cardstock, a red pom pom, scissors, pencil and of course – some hot glue to secure it all.
- Simple cut a piece of darker brown cardstock to wrap around the paper roll. Secure with hot glue.
- Grab some lighter shaded brown cardstock and trace your child’s hands on the paper. Trim out.
- Cut out some eyes from white cardstock.
- Now you are ready to assemble it all. Hot glue the handprint “antler” pieces to the paper roll, followed by the eyes and nose.
- Then display proudly for all to see!
