Reindeer Thumbprint Ornaments: 20-Minute Project with the Kids

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.

  1. 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!

  2. 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!

  5. 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.
