These reindeer ideas make the cutest Christmas keepsakes and sweet memories of time crafting together.

Below you will find reindeer crafts ideas made with paint, paper, glitter, paper plates, paper bags, and even an adorable shirt. There are ideas for making puppets, headbands, photo props, ornaments, and cards. The fur of a Reindeer’s feet is especially long, and it acts like treads beneath their hooves. This allows Reindeer to maintain a firm grip on slippery and icy surfaces. As autumn approaches they begin to collect together into herds again and move south to find shelter from the harsh winter weather.These reindeer arts and crafts can be made at home, in a classroom, with a playgroup, or as a Christmas party activity.

The Reindeer is the only species of deer in which the females carry antlers as well as the males. This is thought to be because females can use the antlers to find food. In snow the antlers are used to scrape snow away from the ground, and as such they are an important feature for survival. The majority of Eurasian Tundra Reindeer are semi-domesticated or domesticated. Indigenous northern peoples such as the Sami in Fennoscandia and the Nenets and Evenks of Russia have coexisted with and relied upon semi-domesticated reindeer for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Per-Eric Kuoljok, a Sami man, with a domesticated reindeer. Sweden, 2015. Photo: Paul Kirtley I created this with my, then, 1 year old on an A4 piece of card. You might be able to get small feet on a smaller piece of card, but test out the best position and size of paper before you open the paints. The antlers are lost each year and regrown afresh, covered in velvet, which is eventually shed. Females lose their antlers in spring after their young have been born. Males lose their antlers after the rut has finished in late autumn. After the calves are born, Caribou continue northwards to new feeding grounds on the tundra where they spread out and spend the summer.In the winter months Rangifer tarandus is famous for feeding on lichens, and during the winter they will scrape snow away from these so they can feed. In summer, they’ll spend up to 20 hours a day eating, and pretty much double their body weight in preparation for the colder months. They can live almost entirely off those fat stores during the winter months, eating only the odd bit of lichen or moss. They become very static in the winter, keeping still as much as possible to conserve precious energy. We see the same pattern in reindeer at the Zoo. They don’t exactly shut down, but they’re definitely on a go-slow. Reindeer's eyes change colour The rut only last a few days, and the exact timing of this annual ritual depends on the latitude at which the reindeer live. They are well known for feeding on one type of lichen in particular, a food source which is known as Reindeer Lichen ( Cladina rangiferina).
