Rudolf the red nose reindeer is a song I loved to sing every Christmas. It still is and it’s now one of my daughter’s favorites. Today I am sharing a super simple and easy craft for kids, It’s a Rudolf craft made from foam and few crafty bits. I have really enjoyed making some lovely items this Christmas season and hope you like this.

I began by cutting out the shape of my Rudolf head. This is an easy step.
You may want to draw the outline for a younger child or allow an older child to draw and create their own rudolf head.
It’s a great task for developing fine motor skills and letting the child be creative is always a great idea.
Next I used the glue gun to stick on googly eyes. You can use a glue gun or another kind of glue such as PVA which is not hot.
Once both eyes were glued I moved onto the red pom pom Rudolf nose.
After gluing the nose on Rudolf, I used the pipe cleaner to make Rudolf into a decoration.
I bent the Rudolf and then stuck the pipe cleaner down using silver glitter sellotape.
You can use plain Sellotape but I had some sparkly tape so I thought it would be more festive.
Here is the final Rudolf decoration. I think it is pretty simple but effective.
You could also make other decorations the same way, maybe a Christmas Tree or Santa’s beard. What will you try?
