• Reindeer mask
The children may want to pretend that they are reindeer. This is a very easy craft. You start with some cardboard. You want to make it in the shape of a reindeer head. You can look for a pattern or you can simply draw one out. Make sure that there are antlers and holes for the eyes. You or the children can cut it out depending on how old they are. They can then decorate it with art supplies such as crayons, markers, colored pencils, paints or more. They can glue on embellishments such as a red piece of felt for the nose if they want to be Rudolph. They can also add glitter. When they have finished, use a hole puncher to make a hole on either side of the mask. Take a rubber band and cut it open. Attach the ends of the rubber band to the mask and you have your adorable mask for the children to wear.
• Reindeer Christmas tree ornament
You may want the children to make an ornament, which you can then hang on the tree this year and for many to come. There are many ways to do this. The easiest way would be for them to draw and cut out a reindeer, which they can then decorate as described above. If they are too young, you can draw and cut it out and let them color it. You can then laminate it if you want it to last longer. Use a hole puncher to make a hole at the top and then attach a string to it so that you can hang it on the tree. This can also make a great gift for your loved ones.
