Wild Christmas REindeer

This past week, we have been getting into the Christmas spirit with Christmas books by Jan Brett.  Jan Brett is at the very top of our all-time favorite author and illustrator list.  On the first day, we read The Wild Christmas Reindeer.  After reading, we made Reindeer Grain (oats and glitter) to sprinkle on Christmas Eve.  We then played some reindeer games.  We played "Pass Rudolph's Red Nose".  We held "Reindeer Races".  And we played "Pin the Nose on Rudolph".

The Reindeer Grain tags are from TomKat Studio.

"Pass Rudolph's Nose" is a silly game. We all sit in a circle. The person that starts gets a red nose (we use lipstick). Then one at a time we try to pass the nose around the circle, nose to nose, until the red gets all the way around and is on everyone.

"Reindeer Races", one rider gets a ride on a "reindeer". We race each other to the finish line.
