20+ Reindeer Crafts for Kids
Today I have rounded up some of my favorite reindeer crafts for kids all in one spot! Looking for some simple crafts to make with the kids this holiday season? Look no further.
It’s hard to pick just one favorite, but so far my kids have enjoyed the egg carton reindeer and thumbprint reindeer notecards the most. Be sure to check out all of the reindeer adorableness and tell us which one of these cute reindeer crafts is your favorite!
From an adorable reindeer headband with a red pom pom nose and footprint crafts featuring Santa’s reindeer to cute ornaments to decorate the Christmas tree, making any of these Christmas craft ideas would be a fun activity to do with young children.
Reindeer Crafts
I just love all of these fun reindeer crafts for kids! I used to teach preschool at our local recreation center and I can totally see myself making many of these crafts with the little ones in the classroom.
My favorite activities are probably the hand and thumbprint crafts. I know, I know…so messy, but so fun!
Whenever I did handprint crafts with the children, I would be sure to have another adult helper and an assembly line system for the kiddos. Kids love seeing their handprints made into festive arts and crafts!

- Help each child paint their hand with a brush or place it into the paint on the plate.
- Help each child place their painted hand on paper.
- Immediately have a helper wash the child’s hand.

Crafting is a great way for toddlers and preschoolers to practice their fine motor skills. Keep your classroom or craft room stocked with supplies like crayons, markers, paint, construction paper, yarn, googly eyes, buttons, pom poms, small mason jars, paper tubes, scissors, and glue. You will have everything you need when the kids want to make their very own red-nosed reindeer.
