For some reason Jaylene has been anti-projects recently. We’re missing out on both the Think! and Unplugged projects this week. It could be the side effect of the family cold we’re all still fighting.
Instead of working on some themes, we focused on putting up Christmas decorations today. Then I found a little Christmas wooden reindeer kit that she was eager to put together, so we did do a project after all.
We used a kit from Zha Mu which had predrilled holes and metal tubes to connect the pieces together, but you could just glue the twigs together.
You’ll need four medium sized twigs for the legs, and one that is slightly shorter for the neck. Two small sized twigs for the ears, and one slightly longer for the tail. A stocky body and head and two antlers will complete your reindeer.

Looks like fun! I would have to rescue twigs from the campfire, and I’m not sure anybody here would approve of that

They look so fun. I would love to make one of those (comment by Moomintroll)
We thought the reindeer was really huge until we saw Jaylene holding it. How wonderful, they have personalities of their own.
