Wooden Christmas tree decorations

When the days get shorter and the colder, the desire to prepare for Christmas slowly grows in our brain...

We take out the boxes of decorations, light a few candles, and the children jump up and down with excitement at the thought of decorating the tree.

How about adding a handmade touch this year, using little wooden sticks, paints, and a lot of creativity?

Here, I will describe how to make a reindeer, Santa's faithful companion.

And to find out how to make Santa, you can watch the video of the activity on my Instagram account: here.

3. Glue two twigs to the top of the head to form the antlers.

   Cut two triangles out of the red cardboard and glue one above the twigs.

   Glue a piece of string, then the second triangle to the back of the figure to hold it up.
