This simple reindeer paper craft only needs a few basic supplies.

What you’ll need
- The free build a reindeer printable (grab it at the bottom of this post)
- Scissors
- Glue
- White printer paper or cardstock and printer
- Crayons, markers, or colored pencils (optional: for the black and white version)
Regular printer paper works well when the reindeer will be glued onto another sheet. Lightweight cardstock gives the finished craft a little more support. Choose paper that is comfortable to cut and suitable for your printer.

Step 2: Color the pieces
Color the reindeer, antlers, Santa hat, and scarf. Coloring before cutting makes the smaller pieces easier to hold steady.

Cut along the outer edge of each piece.
Step 4: Glue the reindeer together
- Glue antlers behind the head.
- Glue the Santa hat across the top of the head.
- Glue scarf onto the body.
- Glue the head onto the body, just above the scarf.
