You can make a very simple reindeer puppet using a small paper lunch bag. The antlers are made from handprints traced on construction paper.

Supplies needed:

Paper bags Deep red (or another color) construction paper Glue Scissors Markers or crayons Optional - googly eyes

Trace two hands on construction paper. Cut them out. These will be the reindeer's antlers.

Fold the two square edges of a paper bag under (at the dotted lines), to form the reindeer's head.

You now have the shape of the reindeer's head for the puppet.

Glue, tape, or staple the handprints behind the reindeer's head.Cut out eyes from construction paper (or glue on googly eyes). Using red paper, cut out and glue on a large red nose. Glue them to the reindeer's face. Draw a mouth with a marker or crayons. This activity would be very enjoyable for most ages under 10, or just to do for family fun! I know I'm definitely gonna try it out.
