Paper Flying Reindeer - Christmas Kid 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
  • 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
  • Red Sequins
  • Gold Pipe Cleaner
  • 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 🙂

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
