What you'll need

Popsicle sticks for crafting
Googly eyes
Craft glue
Red pom-poms
Pipe cleaners for the antlers
Optional: Brown paper for the antlers
Scissors
Thread or string

How it works

Lay two popsicle sticks in a 'V' shape. Glue them together at the tip.
Glue the third popsicle stick horizontally under the open ends of the two upper sticks to form a triangle. Make sure the sticks extend a bit on both sides. This will be your reindeer's face.
Glue the red pom-pom at the bottom tip of the triangle. This is Rudolph's bright nose. Stick the googly eyes above the nose. If you don't have googly eyes, you can simply cut them out of paper and draw them.
Cut out two antler shapes from brown paper or bend pipe cleaners into an antler shape. Glue or wrap the antlers at the top of the popsicle stick.
If you want, you can glue a thread at the top so you can hang your reindeer. Your reindeer is ready! Maybe you can make a few friends for your reindeer. After all, Rudolph needs a team to pull the sleigh!
