It's time to post another WFMW tip. This time Shannon is calling for a Christmas Edition.I'm always on the lookout for fun crafts to do with Snuggle Bug. Granted, since he's not quite 2 years old yet, I usually do most of the work and he has fun making a mess, but that's okay. I got this idea from the Enchanted Learning website.
Paper Bag Reindeer Puppet
Craft Materials:
Paper bags
Deep red (or another color) construction paper
Glue
Scissors
Markers or crayons
Optional (google eyes)
Instructions:
1. Trace two hands on red construction paper. Cut them out. These will be the reindeer's antlers.
2. Fold the two square edges of a paper bag under (at the dotted lines), to form the reindeer's head.
3. You now have the shape of the reindeer's head for the puppet.
4. Glue, tape, or staple the handprints behind the reindeer's head.
5. 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 project and the Enchanted Learning website works for me!

That's a lovely idea. I am sure Snuggle Bug gets a great kick out of his very own reindeer!

Hello,
This is simple enough I am thinking that I could make while waiting at the Cracker Barrel. My family each drives 1/2 way to meet at the restuarant each year and we talk forever. I bet this would help to keep the kids entertained.
Also, beautiful pictures!
Great idea for the kids. I'm always looking for good Christmas-themed craft ideas. We homeschool year round and usually take December off. Unfortunately, we work best with a little structure. So, I have to really get "creative" in December!
How cute is that!!!!
OM,
