Easy Footprint Sleigh Craft and Thumbprint Reindeer Christmas Scenes

My son has been asking to do a sleigh craft and I remember that he liked this adorable thumbprint sleigh with thumbprint reindeer I posted on a Christmas craft round up the other day. We used that for inspiration in creating our own. I also decided to make a Christmas art scene with Little Sister, but instead, a footprint sleigh similar to the one I made with my son a few years ago.

Framed Thumbprint Reindeer and Sleigh Art Scene

1. We used our Melissa & Doug Picture Frame Pad.
2. Trace a circular-shaped item on yellow construction paper. This will be the moon. Cut and glue on to the page.
3. Use red paint to make 3 thumbprints for a sleigh.
4. Use brown paint to create thumbprint reindeer. He wanted me to help him with this part and insisted the whole time that I make a Rudolph - he was so worried. Too cute!
5. Paint on little brown tails.
6. After it dries, draw on antlers and a red nose with either glitter glue pens, paint, or markers.
7. Draw on the rest of the details and make a Santa. Alternatively you could make a thumbprint Santa, but my son is obsessed with drawing people so I left that for him to draw on.

How to Create a Footprint Sleigh Christmas Scene

1. Paint the foot in color of choice. I made this one with my almost 2 year old & I almost always let my 5 year old have a say in her crafts. He matter of factly said that Santa's sleigh was red and that we could only make it that color ..... he, he.
2. Make brown thumbprint reindeer using the tutorial above.
3. Embellish with glitter glue pens to make it sparkle.
