Oh, those Christmas crafts! Between trees, snowmen, Santa, gingerbread men and all the other holiday crafts your little ones are bound to bring a lot home or create a ton in the classroom. Why not store all of those crafts and activities in a cute reindeer bag?!?!
My kindergartners crafted this bag at the beginning of the season and we kept them in their cubbies or in the back of the room to collect all of their Christmas activities.
We start with a large (yes, large) brown sack that you can get from Sam’s Club or here.
Next, we fold the bag in half veritcally…
and cut an outline of antlers. I just free handing this one and traced an outline on my kindergartners’ bags, so each one was different.
Open the bag up and you are ready to create a cute reindeer face!
There are so many ways to craft the face…wiggly eyes, pom-poms
, sequins and more. However, you can do something as simple as making the eyes and nose with construction paper. It’s easy and inexpensive!
All that is left to do is open up the bag and filling it with writing, craftivities, lapbooks, goodies, and more!
I hope that your kiddos enjoy creating this take-away bag as much as you will enjoy having a place to keep your classroom or home clean and tidy during the holiday season!
