Liz over at Say Yes to Hoboken invited me to do a craft for her BlogNog Holiday Series. She did a great job organizing a fantastic collection of holiday crafts, so keep your eye out over there for more BlogNog posts. For mine, I decided to make these reindeer cards!

My kids love it when we give them the task of decorating a card for someone. It gives them a big sense of pride and importance. So for the holidays this year I made a reindeer card that could be part card and part toy. The kids ended up wanting to keep the ones they made, but that’s ok, we’ll make more!

If you want to try them out there is a template below that you can print. (I recommend using a thick paper.) Fold in half on the dotted lines, cut around the edges and decorate. Then write a holiday greeting if you’d like to give it to someone. Happy Holidays!

    these are fantastic!
    thanks for sharing. I think a few of these printed out and colored by my little guy will be just perfect for family.
