the heel area, create eyes (black or brown) and a nose (red or black).
Reindeer Faces
Give each child a piece of brown construction paper. Have the
children trace their hands on the paper. Cut out tracings. Give the
children large brown construction paper triangles to use for reindeer
faces. Have them place their triangles, points down, on a table.
Help them fold over the two upper corners of their triangles to make
ears. Then have the children glue their hand-shaped antlers at the
tops of tier triangles. Add black construction paper circles for eyes
and noses (or a red circle for a nose).

plate. Use brown construction paper and have the children trace and
cut out two hand shapes for the antlers.
