Christmas Gift -Reindeer nose lollipops

We are about to finish the school year in Sydney . Summer long holidays are coming and also Christmas.
Every year ,my kids and I love to make little presents for their classmates. This year we are making “Reindeer lollipop cards”.

Thinking of quick and easy ideas for the kids to help in the making, I remember this idea I saw a while ago in the Brisbane kids website.
They didn’t offer a template to print at that time, but luckily somebody was recommending this image in the comments and I have
used it to make a template in Photoshop for us to print and make our reindeer cards.

I am offering the printable template  here  for free use and download, clarifying that the original drawing is not mine,
only the template I’ve put together and  I am sharing it,  as it was shared with me.

MATERIALS:

• Colored print paper of your choice
• Scissors, Glue, Marker,
• Lollipops

METHOD 1: Printing the Template

• Print  the template in any coloured paper of your choice and cut outside the lines.
• Draw eyes and a smile with a marker.
• Write any greeting or message at the back as well.
• Insert lollipop.
• In order: start glueing the cheeks, the ears and then the antlers

METHOD 2: Outlining the template

• Download the single reindeer image  HERE .
• Print it in cardboard and cut inside the outlines to use as a template.
• Fold a piece of cardboard in half.
• Trace figures with the template using a thick black marker.
  Make sure the insertion for the lollipop sits right in the folded edge.
• Cut outside the black outlines and follow instructions above to glue the card together.

I used green cardboard for the outlined templates. Although they look awesome it was a bit hard to cut and glue together.
I will recommend using coloured paper if you can . It will make it easier especially if the kids are helping with it.

 

 

Enjoy! 🙂
