There is just something about reindeer that I absolutely love! So when I was gifted a whole pile of wood slices I knew exactly what to make. Reindeer are often on the top of my crafty list! And I mean, how adorable is this little guy?!? Making this wooden reindeer ornament could not be more easy…
If you can find someone who is handy with a table saw, have them cut you a bunch of wood slices! These things are fantastic for all sorts of projects. We’ve made these Apple Teacher Gifts, Dancing Spiders and Pumpkin Ornaments in the past, be sure to check them out! But no worries if you cant find wood slices, a round of cardboard or construction paper would do.
You probably have all of the supplies that you need to create this reindeer at home. Get the kids involved and have them make a reindeer! My boys are ten and each created one of these ornaments on their own. They would make a perfect class project, teacher gift or simple ornament for the Christmas tree.
