Potato Print Reindeer and Santa Wrapping Paper

If you have seen our potato print reindeer Christmas cards then you are well on your way to creating this project!

What you need:

• potatoes
• sharp knife
• paint – brown, red, white, green
• brown paper
• black marker – we used our trusted Sharpies!

What to do:

• pour paint onto a plate
• cut potatoes in half, dry off the surface using kitchen towels
• press the potatoes into the paint and print onto the brown paper
• using the red paint, press your thumb into the paint
• make a thumb print on the brown potato print for Rudolph’s nose.
• we added lots of snowflakes using our fingers and white paint
• leave to dry
• draw antlers onto the head and a mouth
• get wrapping!!!

We also made Santa wrapping paper using the same method!  For Santa’s hat, cut the potato into a triangle and cut smaller triangles for the Christmas trees!

Have lots of festive fun!
