This Popsicle Stick Reindeer Kid Christmas Ornament is a Christmas craft the kids are sure to love! It was inspired by Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, one of Santa’s biggest helpers. Rudolph has been a big a part of Christmas traditions for many generations. The story has so many lessons for kids like to never give up and always believe in themselves. This ornament is the perfect craft to remind kids of this message during the holiday season!
