Handprint Reindeer Paper Plate Craft
I’m so excited for the upcoming Christmas holidays. We’re getting started with an adorable Handprint Reindeer Paper Plate Craft! This Christmas craft for toddlers and beyond is so simple to make, and takes so little time, that you could easily make enough reindeer to pull Santa’s sleigh.
When you’re talking about Santa’s reindeer, of course you have to have Rudolph leading the pack. So we made sure to make one of our handprint reindeer with a red nose to guide the way. We also made our reindeer with colorful handprint antlers, just to liven up the craft a little bit more. Even winter crafts need some color.
Then, you just paint a paper plate, add the handprint antlers along with the rest of the face for the reindeer, and you have a super cute Christmas keepsake handprint craft!
Handprint Reindeer Christmas Paper Plate Craft
To make our handprint reindeer, you will need paper plates, brown acrylic paint, cardstock in black, red, and your choice of colors, a 2” circle paper punch, medium sized googly eyes, scissors, and a glue stick.
Paper Plate Reindeer Craft Supplies Needed
- Paper plates
- Brown acrylic paint
- Cardstock – black, red, colors of choice
- 2” circle paper punch
- Googly eyes, medium
- Scissors
- Glue stick
Handprint Reindeer Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin by painting a paper plate brown.
Let the paint dry completely.
While the paint is drying, trace and cut out two handprints from your color cardstock of choice. Of course, you could always go more traditional with brown cardstock for the handprint antlers. But the colors just add a bit more fun.
You will also need to punch a 2” circle from either black cardstock or red cardstock for Rudolph.
Now, when the paper plate is completely dry, trim the edges of the paper plate so the bottom comes to more of a point.
Then, glue the handprints to the top of the paper plate.
Glue the nose at the tip of the paper plate.
Finally, add the eyes to complete this darling and super sweet reindeer craft for Christmas.
