Santa and His Toilet Paper Roll Reindeer


This craft was a group effort for sure. Cody made Santa's sled and the girls and I made the reindeer and Colton made the water bottle Santa.


The reindeer are just toilet paper rolls painted brown. Then, I cut out the legs. Next, we glued on the eyes, nose, tail and antlers (Christmas tree pieces).





















Santa's sled is just a cereal box cut on an angle. Then Cody painted it red. The black part of the sled is cut out poster board and glued on.













I know this is an odd craft but I really do like it. If nothing else, it is different.

We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Here is another repost, we are doing bugs at preschool, so this fits right into what we are doing. I found this cute craft on the Better Homes and Garden website. My kids saw it and could not wait to make it (because it is a bug). I made some modifications to it to make it a little easier for younger kids. Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
