Toilet Paper Roll Reindeer - Christmas Kid Craft

Whether it’s for a cozy holiday activity, a school project, or just a creative afternoon, toilet paper roll reindeer crafts are a simple and engaging way to spark your child’s imagination.

Toilet Paper Roll Reindeer

This craft not only encourages creativity but also helps kids develop fine motor skills while reusing household materials. Follow along with our step-by-step guide to create your very own reindeer friends using items you likely already have at home!

CRAFT SUPPLIES:

Before getting started, gather your supplies. The great thing about this craft is that it uses everyday items, making it budget-friendly and eco-conscious. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Empty toilet paper rolls (one roll per reindeer)
  • Cardstock Paper
  • Markers/Pencils
  • Small Red Pom Poms (for Rudolph’s iconic nose!)
  • Hot Glue or Tape (craft glue is ideal for better adhesion)
  • Scissors

Gather everything in one place to make the crafting process smoother and stress-free for you and the kids.

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Begin by preparing the toilet paper rolls. If there are any remnants of toilet paper, gently peel them off. You can trim the rolls slightly if needed, but they work best left as they are for this craft.
  2. Now wrap the paper roll in a piece of dark brown cardstock. Cut the cardstock to size and secure it neatly with hot glue.
  3. Using lighter brown cardstock, trace your child’s hands to create the antler shapes. Carefully cut them out.
  4. From white cardstock, cut out two small circles to serve as eyes.
  5. Now it’s time to assemble! Hot glue the handprint antlers to the top of the paper roll, followed by attaching the eyes and a nose.
  6. Once complete, display your adorable creation proudly for everyone to admire!
