• For this, take the red and green craft papers, and cut 7 equal squares of each.
• After this, write "MERRY CHRISTMAS", one letter on each square using the glitter pens.
• Now, apply glue on the top part of each square, at the back, and glue them onto the string. Keep even spaces.

Printed Reindeer

• On the brown construction paper, ask the kids to place their feet on it so you can trace them.
• On the orange construction paper, ask the kids to place their hands on it so you can trace them.
• The brown construction paper will be used as the reindeer's face and the orange construction paper will be used as the reindeer's antlers.
