Here’s everything you’ll need to make your Handprint Reindeer Hug:

Directions:

Follow these easy steps to create your very own hugging reindeer keepsake:

  • First things first – print out the provided reindeer head printable, on a single sheet of white cardstock paper {or colored if you choose too!}
  • Decorate the head design in the printable, with some crayons.
  • When done coloring, trim it out and discard the excess paper.
  • Next grab your first sheet of brown cardstock paper and pencil.
  • Trace both of your hands on the paper.
  • Trim out both designs.
  • Now grab the second piece of brown cardstock paper. Fold it in half {hamburger style.}
  • Open it back up and cut it straight up the center to create TWO equal pieces.
  • Pull one half aside for today’s craft and save the other for  a rainy day.
  • Now grab the ribbon and cut off TWO long pieces.
  • Staple the ribbon and handprint cutouts to each side of the brown cardstock sheet.
  • Follow that up by gluing on the colored in reindeer head on top, so the remaining exposed area becomes the body.
  • To finish off the paper reindeer hug craft, simply add any other embellishments {along with the wiggle eyes and any other embellishments you choose} to bring the reindeer to life.
  • Then display as is or gift away to spread some cheer this winter season!

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!
