You will need:
- one medium
sized candy cane for each child (wrapped
in cellophane)
- one sparkly
pipe cleaner for each child
- one fancy
bow for each child
- two rolly
eyes for each child (or
let children make eyes from paper)
- white glue
- one red nose
from construction paper for each child
- children's
scissors (if
children are cutting out own eyes and nose)
What to do:
- practise bending
pipe cleaners in an accordian fashion to obtain the kinked bends which
will be the antlers
- then bend and
twist the pipe cleaner around the curve of the candy cane to secure
antlers to the top of the head
- glue on eyes
and nose
- attach fancy
bow to neck
BEWARE:
- rolly eyes tend
to slide down the reindeer's nose before the white glue has a chance
to set- warn children not to use too much
- glue and perhaps
to hold the eye carefully with one finger and blow on it until it
won't slide any more
- paper eyes work
better with small children for this reason.
