What you need:

• Walnuts
• Brown card or felt
• Black Sharpie
• Little red pompoms
• Glue

Step 1: Crack your nuts and make the antlers

Carefully crack open some walnuts.

You do need to keep both sides of the walnut shell intact so take care.

Draw antler shapes on your card or felt and carefully cut them out.

Step 2: Stick on the antlers

Glue the reindeer’s antlers to the back of your walnut shell.

You an use PVA glue or a glue gun.

Step 3: Pop on Rudolph’s bright red nose

Glue a little red pom pom onto the front of your nut shell to make Rudolph’s nose.

Step 4: Draw on the eyes

Your walnut Rudolph is nearly complete but he needs some eyes.

Use a Sharpie to draw dots for the eyes onto the nut shell.

Step 5: Why not make a whole host of little deer?

These little Rudolphs are so quick and easy to make that you could make a whole heap of them.

You could glue on ribbon or twine to hang them from the Christmas tree. Or you could hang them in a line on a piece of ribbon as pretty bunting.

They would also make lovely gifts for your child to give to friends and family.
