Fun Activities with Our Reindeer Templates
Whether you want to design Rudolph with his red nose, add festive scarves and antlers, or decorate a whole herd of reindeer, these templates are ready for your creative touch. They are also great for the following activities:
Reindeer Garland Craft
Objective: Create festive decorations and practice fine motor skills.
Instructions:
- String them together with ribbon or yarn to create a garland, perfect for hanging on walls, windows, or across a mantel. This activity allows everyone to contribute to a holiday decoration and make a beautiful collaborative craft.
- Print and color several reindeer templates, letting each person decorate their reindeer in unique ways.
- Cut out the reindeer and punch a small hole at the top of each one.
Reindeer Gift Tags
Objective: Add a personal touch to holiday gifts and practice writing skills.
Instructions:
- Print and cut out smaller reindeer templates, and have everyone decorate each reindeer with names or holiday messages.
- Use them as gift tags by writing “To” and “From” on the back, adding ribbon, and attaching them to holiday presents.
- This activity is a festive way to personalize gifts, while giving children a chance to practice writing and showing kindness during the holidays.
Pin the Nose on Rudolph
Objective: Enjoy a festive twist on a classic game for group play.
Instructions:
- Print a large reindeer template, ideally of Rudolph, and place it on the wall.
- Cut out red circles for “noses” and give one to each player (they can decorate their noses with glitter or markers for extra fun).
- Blindfold each player and have them try to place their “nose” on Rudolph’s face. Whoever gets closest to the right spot wins! This activity brings laughter and is perfect for holiday gatherings or classroom fun.
“Design Your Own Reindeer” Contest
Objective: Foster creativity and self-expression.
Instructions:
- Give each person a reindeer template and provide a variety of art supplies like crayons, markers, stickers, sequins, and fabric scraps.
- Encourage everyone to create their unique reindeer by decorating their template however they like—think colorful antlers, silly hats, or cozy winter sweaters.
