Introduction

Welcome to our creative DIY workshop where we will be making adorable reindeer ornaments with your kids. This fun and festive activity will bring holiday cheer to your home and create lasting memories. Let’s dive into the step-by-step guide to crafting these charming decorations!

Materials Needed

• Wooden craft sticks
• Googly eyes
• Red pom-poms
• Brown pipe cleaners
• Glue
• Scissors

Step 1: Assembling the Base

Start by gluing two craft sticks together in a V-shape to form the reindeer’s body and antlers. Ensure they are securely attached before moving on to the next step.

Step 2: Adding the Features

Using the googly eyes, red pom-pom for the nose, and small pieces of brown pipe cleaner for the reindeer’s legs, attach these features to the craft sticks with glue. Let your kids’ creativity shine as they design their unique reindeer ornaments.

Step 3: Finishing Touches

Once all the features are in place, allow the glue to dry completely. You can then add a ribbon to the back of the ornament for hanging on your tree or around the house.

Tips for Success

Encourage your kids to experiment with different colors and decorations to personalize their reindeer ornaments. This activity is not only a fun craft project but also a great way to spark their imagination and artistic abilities.
