Hands and Feet Reindeer Craft

You'll Need:
Large plastic eyes
Large red pom-poms (glitter pom-poms are a fun addition!)
Brown construction paper, craft foam or cardstock paper
Lighter brown or tan paper for the ears (optional)
Construction paper in any color; optional if you would like to glue
the reindeer onto another piece of paper.

How to Make It:
First, with one shade of brown, cut the antlers and reindeer,
using your child's handprint and shoeprint as a pattern.
Then, cut the ears with the other brown. We used a lighter shade of
brown to add yet another layer to the ears but that's not necessary.
Glue the antlers together at a slight angle. Then add the ears and glue
the head on last. Glue the eyes and nose the the head and add a smile with a marker.

Christmas Jingle Bell Door Hanger

You'll need
Metal Jingle Bells (15-20 mm)
heavy gauge wire
wire cutters, pliers
curling ribbon
1 inch metal rings (key ring)

How to make it...
First you'll need to establish how long you want your door hangers to be when finished
(ours are about 10 inches). Add two inches to that length and cut
the piece of wire. Using pliers, wrap one end of the wire around the
key ring or metal loop one or two times, this will be used for hanging.
String the jingle bells onto the wire leaving enough at the end to form
a secure loop. Attach several pieces of ribbon to the bottom loop
and curl Now it's ready to hang from your door!

Craft Spoon Christmas Tree

You'll Need
Wooden craft spoons; the spoons that come with ice cream cups.

Acrylic paint
Fabric paint tubes
Paint brushes
Yellow fun foam or felt
Craft glue
Scissors
Pin backs or ribbon

Step 1. Paint five wooden spoons with green acrylic paint.
It will take just a few minutes of drying time before
handling. Children can do the next step while waiting.
Step 2. Cut the star from the fun foam or felt.
I prefer fun foam. It's easier for kids to cut & glue.
Step 3. Glue the craft sticks in a fan shape to make the tree.
Step 3. Make dots with the paint tubes, for the decorations.
Step 4 .For an ornament or gift tag; glue a ribbon loop
to the back.

To make a pin, attach a pin back. Pin backs can be found
plain or with self adhesive strips already attached.
