Rudolph was a red nose reindeer, but what fun it would be to change the color of his nose.  Your children can create a reindeer. Then they can create a way to change the color of its nose. If you don’t want your children to craft a reindeer, you can use our printable one. Below you will find the reindeer and the color wheel printable set.  Your children could always to create their own reindeer on paper plates and use our color wheel.

Putting the Color Activity Together

Changing the Color of the Reindeer's Nose Color Activity - Homemade Reindeer with a Yellow Nose

The first thing your children are going to need to do is to cut out the reindeer printable or the pieces for their own reindeer. If they are creating their own reindeer, they will need to make the head, eyes, and antlers. They are are using the printable one they will just need to make the antlers.

Next, they will need glue the reindeer and the antler to the large paper plate.

Then they will need to cut out nose space.

The color wheel will need to be glued to the small paper plate and then cut out. (The color wheel with eight colors works best on a narrower nose hole.)

Finally, the color wheel will need to be attached to the reindeer plate with a brass fastener. It will not reach the end of the reindeer’s nose. This will make it easier to turn.

This activity was created to go along with the book Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. It is the Virtual Book Club book of the week. Here are some more activities based on the book.

  1. This is such a fabulous idea for kids! I might have to do this with my daughter. She’d get a kick out of changing the nose colors.

  2. Well that is a cute idea. I know a couple little ones who would love making these and changing the color of the nose over and over.

  3. Wish I had seen this when we were visiting the grandkids. Would have been so much fun to do with them. Will share with my daughter so they can do this with the kids.

  4. This is so simple and pretty cute too. It would be good to use this in schools as well for a fun art activity. Great project!

  6. This is a great craft idea. I will have to get the supplies I need to make these with my friends little ones.

  9. My toddler would think this was an absolute blast! I am going to have to make this with her this week!

  10. This is something the kids will find fascinating. I can imagine them queuing up to take turns at changing the colours. The kid in me also is interested in this activity 🙂

  12. This would bring so much smiles to the little ones. I will share this with my friend who is a nursery school teacher. Her cute little students would love this!

  13. This is so nice. Also a great way to help toddlers learn about colors by changing it every time they would like to. I guess I can also have this as part of our Christmas party too. Being creative on making one.
