Rudolph Ornament

In just 10-15 minutes, your preschoolers can whip up this simple Christmas ornament to decorate your home or classroom.

Other than the wood slices, you’ve likely got these craft supplies on hand already. Gather them, and let’s get crafty!

What You’ll Need

  • 1 large and 1 small craft wood slice
  • Red craft ribbon, cut to 8” in length
  • stapler
  • gold pipe cleaner/chenille stem
  • scissors
  • brown craft foam or felt
  • Elmer’s glue
  • 1 red mini pom pom
  • 2 googly eyes
  • black sharpie

What You’ll Do

Fold the ribbon in half, and place the ends on the back of the large wood slice. Open a stapler, and place it flush against the ribbon, and staple to the top of the wood slice. I stapled twice to ensure it was securely attached.

If you’re doing this in a classroom setting, you can have a parent volunteer do this part before starting the craft with your kiddos.

Cut a piece of the gold pipe cleaner, approximately 2” long. Cut an additional piece of pipe cleaner approximately 1 ½” long.

Place the shorter piece behind the longer piece of pipe cleaner in the shape of a cross. Twist the shorter pipe cleaner once around the longer piece to attach, and then angle upwards to form an antler.

Place the antler to the left of the ribbon, and attach with a stapler to the wood slice. Repeat this process to make the right antler, and again attach with a stapler to the right of the ribbon.

Cut a 1” strip of the foam sheet. Fold the end of the strip up approximately 1½”. Cut out a marquis shape to make the ears.

You may need to cut again to separate the ears. Place the foam ears to the left and right of the gold pipe cleaner antlers, and attach to the wood slice using a stapler.

Flip the large wood slice over, and glue the small wood slice to the bottom center. Let dry.

Glue a red pom pom to the top center of the small wood slice.

Remove the backing from the adhesive eyes, and place on the large wood slice above the pom pom nose.

Using a permanent black marker, draw a mouth under the red nose. Your ornament is complete, and ready to be hung on the tree!
