Kids love making things which is why making a 3D Reindeer Christmas Card Craft is such a great activity for ESL/EFL English lessons. At our English school in Japan, Step by Step Eikaiwa, we especially love crafts that are cheap, easy, and can be made in ten minutes or less. For our upcoming Christmas lessons, we found a great idea for a reindeer Christmas card from Easy Peasy and Fun, and added a little twist. We decided to make them 3D, boosting the fun and cute factor.
Since we can prepare and make this 3D Reindeer Christmas Card Craft quickly and easily, it gives us the freedom to do a few other things in our Christmas lessons. In addition to making these cards, we’ll sing some Christmas songs, make a reindeer Christmas treat, and even study some Christmas vocabulary. There’s a great set of Christmas cards, worksheets, and games we recommend at www.free-flashcards-download.com.

You probably already have the materials in your classroom or house. Once you have everything ready to go, follow the steps below to make your own super cute 3D Reindeer Christmas Card Craft.
You can print out our template (PDF download) for this 3D Reindeer Christmas Card Craft or get creative and make your own design by hand. Just remember that this should be completed before making the 3D reindeer since it will be hard to write on the back after the head is attached. We like to tape green paper to white paper for a stronger card.
The reindeer head is made by stapling the top of the dark brown triangle to the base. After that, add double-sided tape to the card and attach the reindeer head. (You can use glue if you want, but we like double-sided tape because it’s clean, fast, and easy.
Cut long strips from the yellow paper and use double-sided tape to attach it to the card behind the reindeer head. You can use white stickers to add snow in the background.
Now it’s time to add the eyes. You can use small googly eyes, printed and cut eyes, or draw eyes on with a marker. Just remember that the eyes are the most important part. Without them, you’ll have no-eye-deer what it is!
Finally, add the nose with double-sided tape or glue.
Be sure to get creative when making this 3D reindeer Christmas card craft. We like to make them together with a reindeer marshmallow snack as we sing some Christmas songs, especially songs about that famous red-nosed reindeer!
