Paper Flying Reindeer - Christmas Kid Craft

Paper Flying Reindeer Craft

Looking for a fun and easy Christmas craft idea for your kids? Look no further than our paper flying reindeer craft!

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate – one makes TWO crafts
  • Basic Craft Scissors
  • Cotton Pads {or cotton balls}
  • School Glue
  • Pencil or Pen
  • Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Green Cardstock Paper
  • Red Cardstock Paper
  • Black Cardstock Paper
  • Gold Cardstock Paper
  • Wiggle Eyes – two per craft
  • Red Sequins – one per craft
  • Gold Pipe Cleaner – one per craft
  • Hand-Held Office Stapler

Directions:

  • First things first – take your large paper plate and cut it in half. Straight up the center to create TWO equal pieces.
  • Use one half for today’s craft and save the other for a rainy day.
  • Now that you have your blank paper plate piece, it’s time to make the “mountain of snow.” Go ahead and use the school glue to cover your paper piece completely in cotton pads {or cotton balls} to make the snow. When done covering it, set aside.
  • Next grab the brown cardstock, pencil and scissors. Trace one of your child’s hands on the paper and trim it out with scissors.
  • Add embellishments to your newly made handprint to give it the look of a reindeer. Wiggle eyes, red sequin nose and of course – gold antlers! Set aside when done.
  • Out of the remaining cardstock, cut out a few trees and a North Pole sign. Set aside.
  • Grab your gold pipe cleaner and scissors. Cut the pipe cleaner in half {save one half for a rainy day!}
  • Take the pipe cleaner half and curl it with your pencil you used earlier.
  • Now go ahead and staple your curled pipe cleaner to the bottom of their handprint reindeer, followed by stapling it to the paper plate snow piece. You want it to look like the reindeer is floating in the air.
  • Finally, to finish the Flying Reindeer craft, glue on the other paper embellishments to the paper plate and admire your hard work! This type of craft is best displayed on a flat surface 🙂
