We try to do a family activity every night of advent. Some nights there just isn't time but we usually come up with something fun.
Rudolph night: Rudolph was shown on tv several nights ago (don't worry you can rent it if you missed it). Before it came on we made a reindeer centerpiece for the table.

I folded long rectangles of brown paper into a triangle and taped. We traced our hands on light brown paper and added these for antlers. Wiggle eyes and pom pom noses completed the look. These are cute but did not show up well in the pic.
During the commercials we played where's Rudolph: hide a stuffed reindeer toy somewhere in the house. The person who's it then searches with hot/cold hints.
This is easy enough and fun enough for even dysfunctional families! Go Rudolph!
If you like this and want more, leave a comment and I'll add some to my craft blog.

I can't do crafts, I glue things to my hands and clothes and hair. Too dangerous.

Love the reindeer. Will Mr. CDD be jealous? Hey, when did you start a special craft blog? I just saw it today and all those cones are so pretty. You DO sound almost normal, but I can't quite wrap my mind around that concept just yet. JeanKnee...Normal...sound almost like an oxymoron! :)

You are so crafty! Very cute idea!
Cute reindeer! And what a great idea to do something each night!
Can I tell you... I thought that you would still be trying to stretch Halloween in there somehow... spider webs on the antlers or something of that sort ;)

Did you know I can't glue to pieces of paper to save my life? It's true, I'm not crafty at all.

Oh what a joyous morning!
Oh what a gasesous day!
Oh what a reindeer alliance coalition of the antler people kind of afternoon!
HOORAY for dysfunctional families!!!
What craft blog?
Those reindeer are so cute and so simple, even I could make them.
Yes but could Rudolph use his nose so bright to fix elastic's crappy Internet tonight? Cause then how the Infidels would love him and like shout out with glee and stuff.
Don't they use reindeer hooves to make glue?
Rudolph gets all the attention because of the shiny red nose. And the song.
Kinda like Father Al getting all the attention.
NCS- did you see him get his prize??????
I didn't: I was shopping, I was consumering.
The shame.
I did see part of his speech. So fancy and moving he is.
And this morning I saw the picture of him and Tipper.
I have seen these deer before, but they look so cute as a center piece!
Thank you for your recent blog visit, I am very sorry that I didn't come by to say hi sooner!
You have a craft blog? I suppose I should go find it...
