Vocabulary Words: Collage, shape


Materials: Colored paper, brown paper bag, scissors, glue, reinder poem, magic reindeer food


A tradition I began several years ago as a filler activity the week before Christmas break is these reindeer sacks. They are good for following directions and cutting/gluing skills. I have the students trace their hand on folded paper for the antlers. The poem is attached to the back, and inside goes 1/4 cup of oatmeal and a dash of glitter.

The poem I use is: On Christmas Eve, sprinkle this Magic Reindeer Food outside of your door. The magic glitter sparkling in the moonlight and the smell of oats will guide Rudolf to your home. Then keep snug in your bed with your eyes closed tight and your slippers near by on the floor. Waking early with the next morning light to find gifts of love, under your tree and in your stocking, to call your own.
