Another easy homemade holiday craft is some type of candy or treat holder. I've seen glass jars and vases, plastic boxes, and small baskets. This reindeer variation is extremely inexpensive and a lot of fun for kids to make. This makes a great gift for a teacher or the neighbors. You can fill them with candies, cookies, popcorn balls, etc. If you are looking for some cute centerpieces for a Christmas party, these are really cute when you group three different sized reindeer candy holders together and fill them with red and green candies.

What you need: Scissors Craft glue Terra-cotta clay pots (any size from 2 inches to 6 inches) Plastic googly eyes Red pom-poms Two shades of brown craft foam, cardstock paper or construction paper; Fillers

What you do: 1. Trace the child's hands onto one of the brown papers. Fingers should be slightly apart. Cut them out.

2. Cut out reindeer ears out of the other shade of brown. The ears should be a tapered oval shape about 3 to 4 inches long.

3. Have the pot facing you with the open end up. Glue the ears to the back of the pot so that most of the ears are sticking up above the lip. They should point slightly up and out.

4. Then attach the antlers to the pot lip, on top of the ears.

5. Glue the eyes and nose to the front of the pot.

6. Fill the pot with goodies.

*15 Minute Moment* Imagine the amusement park nearest you is putting in a super new roller coaster. Think up the most incredible name for the new imaginary ride.
