Here’s a quick project to do with the kids. Paint their thumb and press it onto an ornament. Then just paint in the rest for a cute reindeer. The photo shows several reindeer on the same ornament, but I think I’d like them spaced out a bit more. Very cute and a great gift for grandma or teacher!

The tutorial there is very good and I like her hint to use an ornament with a matte finish to make the reindeer show up better.

Penny, that’s just wonderful. What a great gift for a godmom too! These will be treasured for many years! Thanks for taking the time to comment!

I did this with my three yr old, one year old, and eight month old this year. We painted their thumbs and pressed them in the ornament and I did everything else. We did it ad gifts for grandma and godmom.

Shaun, I bet they’ll have fun making these! Thanks for stopping by.
Shaun says
I must forward this one to my wife for the kids. My daughter loved making hand print turkey’s shes going to love this one.

Money Cone, I hope it works out for you. I’m not sure how this would look on a plastic ornament. Lots of fun anyway.
If I had a newborn I think I’d like a footprint on an ornament even if it didn’t look like anything but a footprint. So precious!
MoneyCone says
That is pretty neat! Looks nice too! My kid is too young and I’m most certain he’ll break the ornament, but will keep this in mind for the next Christmas!
