Handprint and Shoe Print Reindeer Craft

This hand and shoe print reindeer is a keepsake Christmas kids craft. It is easy to make and makes a festive Christmas decoration.

Do you love crafts made with your child’s handprints? I do.

I like to save their crafts made with their handprints and I store them with the Christmas decorations. 

Each year, I love to look at them and I am amazed at how much bigger their hands get each year.  

My kids enjoyed making this reindeer craft.  My son wanted to trace his shoe while he was still wearing it.  FYI, it is easier to trace the shoe if your child isn’t still wearing the shoe.

My kids also needed help tracing their hands. 

When my kids were finished with this simple kids Christmas craft, they sang Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer while dancing with the reindeers they just made.
