Set all the cut pieces of paper on a table and let your child piece together a reindeer. If you’re doing this activity with a class of children they can each assemble their own reindeer with the help of a teacher’s instructions. Talk about each shape as you guide them through assembling their reindeer. Hang the reindeer on your refrigerator at home or around your classroom for festive holiday decorations!
