40 tiny reindeer

Published by at 3:38 pm under paper crafting

Today was a fun day! Both of my boys had their Holiday parties, which means I was finishing their treats to hand out last night. Oops! Hahaha!

I am Co-Room Mom in Owen’s class, and had picked up stuff for their Holiday party in September when they first started putting Christmas stuff out. We went with a reindeer theme – decorating red and green beach buckets with fun foam reindeer face decorating kits and each child had a pair of fun foam reindeer antlers with their names on them to wear today. So when I saw the cute Hershey bar reindeer that I shared here (inspiration Hershey bar reindeer) I knew what I had to make for the boys to pass out in class.

Below you will spy the 40 reindeer I made for today, along with a close up. The kids were excited to have their own full sized Hershey bar, and you can’t really blame them. 😉

Funny note: I wanted to use pipe cleaners for their antlers, but couldn’t find enough brown and didn’t want to use black. So I started brainstorming and decided that letter “K” would do quite nicely for antlers. I plugged in my Cricut and cut out the “K” using the George font. I then trimmed them down, making them more like a lowercase “K”, and taped them to the inside of the wrapper. Hooray for letter “K”!
