Follow the Step by Step Instructions
Start by painting the paper plate brown. Let the paint dry.
We love to paint our paper plates with sponge paint brushes, they are easy to handle, quick to paint with and fun!
While you wait for the paint to dry, punch two circles out of white paper.
Kids love punching circles.
Glue the white circles on the paper plate (position them on the upper half, as these will be the eyes).
Apply a generous amount of glue in between the eyes and press the large red pom pom on the paper plate.
Let it stick. You could also use large glue dots (another kid favorite).
Draw in the black dots in the eyes.
Draw mouth with a black marker.
Cut antlers out of dark brown construction paper.
Glue them on the back of the paper plate.
All done! Your Reindeer Paper Plate Craft is all done and ready for display! This one, along with a paper plate Santa craft or paper plate snowman makes the most adorable classroom decoration for Christmas.
