Today I want to offer you, little artist, a DIY of an animal you can often find in Christmas tales.
Let me give you a hint, he has a red nose!
Can you guess what animal it is?
Yes, it’s Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer!
Do you know how many reindeer Santa has?
He has nine! Can you name some of them?
MATERIALS
- A quarter of a beige construction paper (14 cm/11 cm)
- Brown construction paper
- White cardboard
- Cotton balls
- Black marker, red marker
- Googly eyes (optional)
- A glue stick and scissors
STEP 1
- Fold the beige construction paper lengthwise.
- Cut it in half.
- Fold one of the halves widthwise.
- Cut a “U” shape in the folded half.
STEP 2
- Now you have to fold the top parts of the “U” to make the paws.
*Look closely at the picture
STEP 3
- Use your black marker to colour the end of each paw.
- Glue each paw on your white cardboard, like on the picture.
STEP 4
- Take the other piece of beige construction paper, roll it and tape it to the back (the head).
- Cut a tail shape and two antlers in your brown construction paper.
- Glue the tail to the back and the antlers on the head
- Add the googly eyes and draw a red nose.
THERE YOU GO!
You can now glue the cotton balls on your white cardboard to make it look like snow.
I think my reindeer is beautiful, and I am sure yours is too!
I hope you had fun making this activity with me!

I really like maple syrup, taffy on the snow, and maple sugar! Did you know that sugaring off and sugar shacks are typically a Quebec tradition ? That is because maple trees grow better because of our weather conditions. I am always excited to go to a sugar shack in the springtime – do you ?
Let’s build our own sugar shack together! Gather you materials and let’s start!
MATERIALS
• 1 small brown paper bag
• newspaper or store circulars
• wooden coffee stir sticks
• 1 piece of Kleenex or tissue paper
• 1 colored piece of construction paper (you pick the color)
• glue, scissors, paintbrush and a stapler
STEP 1
•Fill the brown paper bag with the newspaper (or store circulars)
•Fold the open ends of the bag over and use the stapler to close it
STEP 2
•Glue the wooden coffee stir sticks onto your sugar shack to look like wooden boards
STEP 3
•Cut the pieces of the construction paper to decorate your sugar shack: make a roof, windows, a chimney and a door!
STEP 4
•Gather all the pieces to put on your cute little sugar shack…
•You can do like I did and draw details, like squares, on the windows and a doorhandle on the front door.
TA-DA !!!
Here’s my sugar shack!
Did you see ? I added some smoke coming from the chimney!
Can you smell the maple water boiling ?
I hope you had fun making this activity with me!
Come back soon!
