- Use a child's handprints as reindeer antlers.Photos.com/Photos.com/Getty Images
Trace the children's handprints onto brown paper. Make two handprints per child. Angle the handprint sheets to either side and overlap the round palm portion at the bottom. Tape the bottom parts together where they overlap. These are the reindeer's antlers.
Place a large sucker at least two inches in diameter in the middle of the handprints. Ideally, the sucker should be flat to help make gluing easy. The sucker is the reindeer's face. Glue plastic eyes and a nose to the face and decorate with glitter and paper. - Cover a sucker with seasonal fabric. Use a piece of string to cinch the fabric together at the bottom of the round portion of the sucker. On the back, glue a small brown pompom. This is the reindeer's tail. On the front, glue two paper ears at the top. Glue two plastic eyes below the ears. Glue a red pompom underneath and between the eyes as the nose. Add brown paper feet to the handle if you wish.
- Cut out a brown cardboard circle at least three inches in diameter. This is the reindeer's head. Tape one sucker to the back of the circle in the center. Point the candy down. This is the reindeer's nose. Tape two suckers at the top of the circle, pointing up. These are the reindeer's ears. Turn the circle over and decorate it with plastic eyes, a felt pen and glitter.

Make this reindeer out of five different suckers of a similar size. Stick four of the suckers into the bottom of a foam oval. These are the four reindeer feet. Place another sucker at at the front of the oval and push it in until the handle nearly disappears. This is the reindeer's head. Add paper ears to the reindeer's head and decorate the body with paint and paper.
