Today we’re going to create a fun and festive Christmas craft for kids—a reindeer gnome out of craft sticks! It’ll be easy enough for the littlest crafter, but pretty impressive looking. Let’s get started!

Craft Supplies:

Here’s a list of materials you’ll need to get started:

  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 3 per craft
  • School Glue
  • Brown Craft Paint
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Paint Brush
  • Craft Scissors
  • Brown Scrapbook Paper
  • Green Scrapbook Paper
  • Red Cardstock Paper
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Gold Pipe Cleaner
  • Tape or Washi Tape
  • Embellishments

Directions:

Making your popsicle-stick reindeer gnome is easy if you take it step by step. Here’s how:

  • Start by gathering three popsicle sticks per reindeer gnome, along with your craft paint supplies.
  • Pour some brown paint onto a paper plate and paint all three popsicle sticks completely.
  • Once painted, glue the sticks together in a triangular shape. Set the triangle aside to dry completely. Repeat this step for each gnome you plan to make.
  • While the triangles are drying, grab your scrapbook paper and scissors.
  • Cut a triangular piece from the brown scrapbook paper to fit inside the popsicle stick triangle—this will form the gnome’s body.
  • Next, cut a festive hat for the gnome using green scrapbook paper.
  • From the red cardstock, cut an oval shape for the nose, and from the white cardstock, cut out a fluffy beard.
  • Assemble your gnome! Glue the brown triangle to the back of the popsicle stick frame. Then, attach the hat, nose, and beard to the front using school glue.
  • To add the finishing touch, fold a gold pipe cleaner in half to create antlers. Secure the antlers to the back of the popsicle stick triangle using tape.
  • Feel free to add any extra embellishments to personalize your reindeer gnome!
  • Once complete, let everything dry fully before displaying your adorable creations.
  • Don’t forget to share your finished gnomes with us on social media using #gluedtomycrafts! We can’t wait to see your festive masterpieces!

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!
