Rudolf Christmas Craft Ideas
* Little tots can help you make a reindeer by attaching eyes, antlers and nose
on a hanger wire folded as a reindeer's face. This would make a beautiful
ornament for your Christmas tree or for holiday wreath hung on the door.
* Stick a small red pom pom on the corner of the dog biscuit for a nose, eyes.
You may make use of pipe cleaners or chenille sticks to make antlers and
Rudolph's face. For a finishing touch, add a magnet strip to its back. Now, let
the kids catch as many Rudolph as they can with a fishing rod with a magnet at
the end, within a specified time and the one who catches the most is the winner.
It is a great game Christmas kids party.
* You may make use of Rudolph name tags to write your Christmas greeting and
messages and stick them to the gifts for your near and dear.
* Fun activities for kids on Christmas can include making the Rudolf using their
hand and foot prints. Take their footprint on a paper. Now, cover the toe side
with bow for Rudolph. This shall serve as the reindeer's face. Now, add eyes and
nose to the face, by taking the heel side as the head of the reindeer. Take the
handprints of the child to form the antlers of the face. Now, paint it with
appropriate colors and cut it out. You can use it on gift wraps and Christmas
decorations.
* Another way to make Rudolph using just one handprint is to take it with all
the fingers and thumb, fully stretched. Now, turn it upside down. The fingers
will make the legs and you can fashion the side face from the thumb by adding
the red nose at its end. Add one eye to it as it is the side face and you can
even put a few beads to show the neck of the reindeer. |
