Celebrate the season by making a cute, one-of-a-kind reindeer craft with your kids. This simple to make reindeer handprint craft is a fun extension to a story about Christmas reindeer or the most famous reindeer of all - Rudolph! Plus you’ll love that this reindeer footprint craft helps create a priceless keepsake by preserving the size of your kids precious hands and feet.  Try this Christmas craft with toddler, preschool, pre-k, kindergarten, first grade, 2nd grade, and 3rd graders this December!

I especially love seeing the three of their art together.

We hung these on the kitchen cabinets throughout the whole Christmas season last year.

Who knows what will be gracing our cabinets this year?!
