Flying Reindeer

Looking for an interactive Christmas craft activity? This one is for you! Our Flying Reindeer is super cute and fun to make! Follow the steps below to create your own.
  • Step 1Download the template provided and print out on cover paper. Decorate using pencils, markers or paint. Allow to dry if needed. Cut out using scissors. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
  • Step 2Paint the outside of 2 paper cups using Burnt Sienna CleverPatch™ Acrylic Paint.
  • Step 3Using a ruler and pencil, create a mark on the top rim of both sides of one of the paper cups. Create another two marks diagonal to the first so the marks form an 'x'. Use the marks you just created as a guide and cut a hole in the sides of the cup 1cm under each mark.
  • Step 4Cut 2 rubber bands in half. Thread the end of a rubber band through one hole in the paper cup and then the other end of the band through the opposite hole. Tie each end in a knot so the band is tight. Repeat with the second band and the other two holes so that your cup looks like the image shown.
  • Step 5Cut a gold chenille stem in half. Bend each half to create the Reindeer's antlers. Push each antler side by side into the top of the brown paper cup with the rubber bands.
  • Step 6Use glue dots to attach a pom pom nose, wiggle eyes, ears and legs to the same brown cup that the antlers are in. You may also want to concertina fold the legs like we did. Place the Reindeer on top of the other brown cup, push down and let go! Watch your Flying Reindeer soar into the sky!
