Reindeer Craft with Popsicle Sticks

All kids love reindeers and this reindeer craft with popsicle sticks is the perfect way to pass cold December days in the runup to Santa Claus.

Children know the names of Santa’s 8 reindeers, Prancer, Donner, Blitzen, Dancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid and the most famous Rudolph.

Reindeers are crucial in the delivery of Santa’s presents as they pull the sleigh! I have a few other reindeer crafts for kids including my toilet paper roll Reindeer and my Candy Cane Reindeer

I love using my leftover popsicle sticks. Every time the kids finish eating a ice lolly in the Summer we wash our lolly sticks and put them in my craft box for later use. 

I hope you enjoy this Christmas popsicle stick craft and if you have spare popsicle sticks leftover you can always try my Nutcracker craft and my Elf Hat Craft.
