It’s that time of year again! Christmas is almost here and we’ve been creating fun holiday crafts for the classroom. The Craft Stick Reindeer is a popular holiday craft that requires very little prep work and uses materials that you may already have in the classroom.
Materials
- 2 ½ Craft Sticks
- Brown Paint
- Paintbrush
- Small Red Pompon
- Plastic Wiggly Eyes
- Glue
- Brown Pipe Cleaners (optional)
Instructions
- Paint the craft sticks brown.
- Once the paint is dry, glue the two long sticks together to make a V.
- Glue on the half stick to make an upside down A.
- Glue on the two wiggly eyes and the pompon for the nose.
- Attach a pipe cleaner on both ends of the upside down A.
More Ideas
- Instead of using craft sticks, you could make the reindeer out of small twigs.
- Turn your craft stick reindeer into a Christmas ornament by tying brown yarn where the sticks meet and tie a bow at the top.
- If you would like your craft stick reindeer to have a body, cut an oval and two short legs (one in front, and one in back) from a brown paper bag or brown construction paper.
