Both making and receiving one are pure Christmas magic.

How to make reindeer Christmas cards with potatoes

What you need:

drag
glue
potato
knife
construction paper (red and two brown)
paint (brown and black)
paintbrush
two innocent eyes

Step-by-step instructions

For the card base, we will use light brown construction paper.

Have the child fold it in half to make a card.

Prepare a potato, the star of our profession!

Cut potatoes in half.

Have your child paint the cutout brown.

They can paint it with a paint brush (this is a great option if you are making this at home with a child, so as not to waste paint.

Alternatively, you can pour brown paint into a plate or dish and have your kids dip the potatoes in (this is a great option if you’re crafting with a group of kids or if you’re making a lot of cards).

Help your children print text on the front of the card.

Let the paint dry a bit.

Meanwhile, have your child cut thin strips of brown paper and make a pair of antlers.
