Reindeer Bookmark Craft Supplies:

* Large Craft Foam Sheet {preferably something in a Christmas color scheme – we did green}
* Basic Craft Scissors
* Brown Craft Paint
* Small Paper Plate
* Loose, Large Red Craft Sequins
* School Glue
* Black Sharpie Marker
* Single Hole Punch
* Yarn or String

Directions:

* First trim down our craft foam with scissors into a rectangular bookmark shape. We did 2 inches by 5 inches on ours. Repeat for each bookmark you want to make today.
* Next squirt some brown paint on a paper plate.
* Have children press their thumb in the paint, then press it a few times on the craft foam piece to make reindeer heads. Make sure you leave some room in between each print for the antlers and nose.
* When done, set it aside to let it dry completely.
* Now that they are dry, you are ready for the reindeer embellishments.
* Use the black Sharpie marker to draw on some dotted eyes and stick antlers.
* Next up – add a reindeer “nose” by gluing on a large red sequin on the bottom of each thumbprint.
* To finish off the Thumbprint Reindeer Bookmarks, punch a hole at the top and thread some string through the hole to tie off.
* Then gift away proudly!
* Don’t forget to share some pictures with us as well! #gluedtomycrafts
