By far, the best gifts I?ve ever received are those sweet little crafts my kiddos have made for me at school, church, or just around the house. I love how hard they work to make things look just right, and how thrilled they are to give their homemade goodies away. This year I rounded up Cash to make a quick, easy, DIY Christmas craft. He had so much fun using his own two hands (and foot!) to put this together, and it only took a few minutes! Everything you?ll need to create our Rudolph the Thumbprint Reindeer is listed below. Have fun!

What you’ll need:

• Brown construction paper (2 pieces per kid)
• Scissors
• Glue
• Red paint
• Googly eyes
  

The how-to:

• Trace your kiddos’ hands and one of their shoes on the construction paper.
• Have them (if they’re old enough) carefully cut out both the traced hands and shoe.
• Glue the hands to the top of the shoe.
• Place a dot of glue on each eye and place near the middle of the head.
• Dip your littles’ thumbs in the red paint and carefully press on the bottom of the shoe in the nose area.
• Let dry and enjoy!?

So quick, easy, and fun! Bonus?bonding time with your kiddos (which we all know I NEED!). Merry Christmas!

Xoxo,

Heidi
