Materials

  • White cardstock (1 sheet per card, 8.5 x 11 inches, folded in half)
  • Brown washable paint (2–3 tablespoons)
  • Red craft paper or pom-poms (1 per card for the nose)
  • Silver glitter glue
  • Green and red paper (for snowflakes or decorations)
  • Black and white paper scraps (for eyes)
  • Paintbrush, glue stick, and scissors

Instructions

  • Fold the white cardstock in half to make a card base.
  • Using a paintbrush, apply brown paint evenly onto the child’s hand. Then press their hand firmly onto the front of the card to create the reindeer’s face and antlers. Let it dry completely (about 15–20 minutes).
  • While waiting, cut out small white circles for the eyes and slightly smaller black circles for pupils. Glue them onto the top center of the handprint.
  • Add a red circle or pom-pom at the bottom of the palm for Rudolph’s nose.
  • Cut out paper snowflakes or use pre-made stickers to decorate the background.
  • Apply small dots of glitter glue around the handprint to mimic falling snow.
