Candy Cane Reindeer
Every child loves making these Candy Cane Reindeer, and they’re quick and easy too!
You’ll need:
Candy canes
Pipe cleaners
Sharpie black marker
Yarn for optional pieces
Red pompoms are optional for a Rudolph nose
Googley eyes are also optional, but you can use the black sharpie instead as well
- OPTIONAL-before the project, I made scarves for the reindeer. They are super fast and simple, I just used a crochet hook and made a chain 30 long and tied off the ends. I also wrapped yarn around my four fingers ten times, slid it off, tied it together in the middle and clipped the loops, creating crazy hair that my students tied on the reindeer’s head.
- Give each child a candy cane and a pipe cleaner to wrap around the candy cane where it bends, creating antlers.
- Have the child either glue on eyes and a nose, or my students drew faces with a black sharpie marker.
- Give the students the scarves and crazy hair to tie on, and voila! The easiest candy cane reindeer ever, and the children love them!
