10 Craft Ideas to do With Reindeer Coloring Pages
Once those beautiful reindeer coloring pages are completely colored in, don't let them sit in a pile; use these easy, budget-friendly crafts to turn them into festive holiday keepsakes.
1. Reindeer Antler Headband
Cut out the colored reindeer head and antlers, then glue them onto a sturdy strip of brown construction paper. Measure the strip to fit your child's head, staple the ends together, and reinforce the paper antlers by gluing brown pipe cleaners to the back for extra 3D height. Your little one will love running around wearing their custom-colored reindeer crown!
2. Glowing Rudolph Mason Jar
Cut out the colored reindeer face from your coloring page and carefully cut a small circle where the nose is. Mod Podge the cutout onto a clean glass jar, then glue a piece of red tissue paper over the nose hole from the inside. Place a battery-operated tea light inside the jar to watch Rudolph's nose glow a bright, magical red.
3. Pull-String Flying Reindeer
Cut out the colored reindeer's body, legs, and head as separate pieces from your coloring page and trace them onto thin cardboard for strength. Assemble them using brass brads at the joints, then tie a weighted string system to the limbs. When kids pull the bottom string, the reindeer's legs and antlers will kick up and down like they are flying through the sky.
4. Candy Cane Sleigh Harness
Glue two matching colored reindeer cutouts to either side of an empty, decorated cardboard juice carton to act as the sleigh. Wrap red pipe cleaners around the reindeers' necks to create a “harness” that connects to the sleigh. Slot real candy canes underneath the carton to serve as the sleigh's runners for a festive, edible tabletop display.
5. “Pin the Red Nose” Party Game
Glue your completed, large reindeer coloring page (minus the nose) onto a sturdy piece of poster board and hang it on the wall. Cut out small circles from red construction paper, write each player's name on them, and add double-sided tape to the back. Blindfold the kids, spin them around, and see who can get their red nose closest to Rudolph's snout!
6. Jingle Bell Collar Ornament
Cut out the head of the colored reindeer, laminate it with clear contact paper for durability, and punch a hole at the base of the neck. Thread a red pipe cleaner through the hole and string on three or four miniature metal jingle bells to make a festive collar. Loop the top of the pipe cleaner into a circle so you can hang this noisy ornament directly on the Christmas tree.
7. Pop-Up Antler Holiday Card
Fold a piece of green cardstock in half to create a card base. Cut out your colored reindeer head, fold a small tab at the base of the neck, and glue it into the center crease of the card. When the recipient opens the card, the magnificent antlers will pop forward for a delightful 3D greeting.
8. 3D Snowstorm Wall Art
Mount your finished reindeer coloring page onto a piece of dark blue poster board. Gently pull apart white cotton balls and glue them around the reindeer's hooves to look like deep, fluffy snowbanks. Finish the winter scene by dipping a finger in white paint and dotting “snowflakes” all around the reindeer's antlers.
9. Magic Reindeer Food Gift Bag
Glue your colored reindeer cutout onto the front of a brown paper lunch bag. Punch two holes near the top fold of the bag, thread brown pipe cleaners through, and twist them into bent antler shapes. Fill the bag with a handful of rolled oats and red sprinkles, creating a cute container for “magic reindeer food” to scatter on the lawn on Christmas Eve.
10. Stained-Glass Silhouette Window Cling
Carefully cut out the inner sections of your reindeer coloring page, leaving only the bold black outlines and the main antler shapes intact. Sandwich this paper outline onto a sheet of clear contact paper, fill the empty spaces with colorful scraps of red and green tissue paper, and seal it with another sheet of contact paper. Cut around the border and stick it to a sunny window to let the holiday colors glow.
