How to Make a Christmas Reindeer Pom-Pom Gift Bag
1. Use the scrap paper and pencil to draw reindeer antler templates. You can draw one antler and then reverse the image to get both antlers.
2. Trace the reindeer antler template onto brown construction paper.
3. Cut out 2 antlers for each reindeer - one left facing antler and one right facing antler.
4. Decide where you want to place the antlers on the small paper bag. The antlers should be on the top third of the bag.
5. Glue the antlers to the one side of the bag, leaving a small gap between them.
6. Glue the large brown pom-pom to the bag, overlapping the antlers. The brown pom-pom forms the reindeer head.
7. Glue the cream pom-pom to the brown one to create the reindeer's muzzle.
8. Glue the red pom-pom to the cream one to form the nose.
9. Glue the 2 google eyes to the brown pom-pom just above the cream one.
10. Glue the tan pom-pom to the opposite side of the bag. This pom-pom forms the reindeer's tail.
11. Use the marker to write the recipient's name on the bag. Be sure to add your child's name and date also.
12. Fill the Christmas reindeer gift bag with little goodies.
13. Present to your teacher or friend!

2. Add stickers and crayons for friends.
3. Add a hot cocoa packet, a peppermint stirring candy, and some chocolates to give to grandma or mom.
4. Add a toy race car, some candy, and a sports store gift card for grandpa or dad.
