An easy craft for the season! Create Animal Hand-tlers to wear while you celebrate the holidays!
Supplies:
- Two pieces of card stock or construction paper per pair
- Scissors
- Writing utensil
- Stapler and/or glue
- Optional: coloring tools, paints, sequins, and other “flair” for decorating
Instructions:
- Fold construction paper in half (short way) and trace hand on one half. Cut out both at the same time.
- Fold other piece of construction paper in half, longways, and then each half in half. Cut along the lines. This will make one (with a left over paper strip) big head band or two small headbands.
- Staple or glue the ends of the strips together to make them longer and measure the band around your head. If it’s not long enough, add a third strip to extend and cut to fit. Do not staple or glue them together to make the band yet.
- The antlers will be laid out with the thumbs facing inward. Decorate or color them if you want to. Decorate or color the band if you want to.
- Find the center of the band, and staple or glue the hand shapes to the inside, so the bottom of the palm is under the band.
- Finally, close the band where it fits your head by stapling it together in the back, and then cutting off any parts that are too long.
- Wear and make animal noises! What does a reindeer sound like? How about a moose?
