This shape reindeer craft is perfect for kids to review shapes during the holiday season. The reindeer template comes with 10 different shapes for the reindeer’s head, 8 shapes for the reindeer’s nose and 2 different eye shapes. A fun mix and match math craft idea.
While this makes a great end of the year craft for preschoolers, kindergartners and first graders to make in the classroom, it will also be fun to try at home, if you’re homeschooling or not.
We have created a few shape crafts over the years: from the shape Santa to the polar bear shapes. What makes this reindeer shape craft stand out from our shape collection is the cards we added, making the craft a math as well as literacy craft.
Kids will have to either use these cards to read and follow directions or to trace or write down the name of the shapes they used.
Of course, you can skip using the cards and just let the kids mix and match the shapes and come up with their own reindeer versions.
Here are all the shapes included in the template:
- Head: circle, oval, square,rectangle,triangle,hexagon,rhombus,heart,pentagon,trapezoid
- Nose:circle, square, hexagon, rectangle, oval, pentagon, heart, rhombus
- Eyes: circle, oval
