Follow the step-by-step instructions

Start by painting the paper plate brown. Let the paint dry.

We love using sponge paint brushes to paint on paper plates because they are easy to use, quick to paint, and fun!

While waiting for the paint to dry, punch two circles out of the white paper.

Children love punching circles.

Glue white circles onto the paper plate (place them on the top half as these will be the eyes).

Apply a generous amount of glue between the eyes and press the large red pom pom onto the paper plate.

Let it stick. You can also use large glue dots (another kid favorite).

Draw black dots for the eyes.

Draw the mouth with a black marker.

Cut the gauze out of dark brown cardstock.

Glue them to the back of a paper plate.

And voila! Your paper plate reindeer craft is finished and ready to display! This craft, along with a paper plate Santa or paper plate snowman craft, makes the cutest classroom decoration for Christmas.
