I found the Holly Bloggy a bit late as you can tell this is my first day but I am so glad that I found it. Today is the craft day and it is being hosted by Blue Eyed Blessings. You should go over and visit
They won't stay long forever but this ornament will help you remember when their hand and feet were so small.
Start by tracing your child's foot on the brown construction paper (or perhaps trace their shoe.)
Trace both of your child's hands on black construction paper. Go around every finger so that your antlers will have many points. Now cut out the tracings. (This is fun for a todler to practice cutting with just a bit of assistance from mom The snagly edges are great signs that the chid created the craft as well) Glue the hand tracings to the "top" of the reindeers head (the front part of the foot) with antlers up. Now create his face using pompoms, googly eyes, construction paper or crayons. The choice is yours and the fun is yours to have.

This is so great! I love handprint/footprint crafts. It preserves their tiny feet for a time. We are actually making these today, but we're using paint! Smart idea? We'll see... ;)
