Materials:* 2 sheets of fun foam (preferred for durability, but construction paper or even plain white paper will also work)
* pen or marker to trace around child's fingers
* stapler or tape
* glitter glue (or glue stick and glitter of choice)
* scissors
Cut a brown foam sheet lengthwise into a 2 inch strip to fit snugly around your child's head. (It may take 2 strips affixed together for older children.) Have your child decorate the band if desired. An adult can also write the child's name or the name of the "reindeer" he s about to become. Staple or tape the band to size. Trace around your child's hands (fingers apart) on either a brown sheet or, if preferred, a contrasting color. An adult should cut out the hand shapes. Kids should then decorate the hands (now "antlers") with some sparkly glitter or other colorful accents. Once the antlers are complete and dry, and adult should staple them to either side of the band. Kids will magically become part of Santa's sleigh team!
