Extras for decoration (optional)

Directions for Tree
- First, cut out a triangle shape of your colored construction paper.
- Then, use 3 popsicle sticks to create the border for the tree and glue them.
- Next to add color to the border. I cut 3 strips of construction paper into medium sized rectangles and glued them around the border of the tree!
- Next, cut out a square from the colored construction paper to represent the stump of the tree and glue it down.
- Lastly, feel free to decorate with whatever craft supplies you have available!
Directions for Reindeer
- First, cut an upside-down triangle to show the face and nose of a reindeer.
- Then take 2 popsicle sticks for the border of the reindeer face and glue them down.
- For the hat that goes on top of the reindeer, I cut out another triangle and used 1 popsicle stick to secure it.
- Then I glued them together and used cotton balls to create the fluff of the hat before attaching the hat to the reindeer’s face.
- For the reindeer ears, I drew 2 small antlers on black construction paper and cut them out and then glued the antlers to the reindeer.
- Lastly, I added eyes and a pom pom nose but you can decorate as needed! Add a string to the back to hang.
Most importantly, have fun and enjoy creating a decoration together!
