Craft Stick Reindeer
Reindeer are most commonly known as Santa’s mode of transportation, but they are also a real life animal. Make this Craft Stick Reindeer craft and use the opportunity to teach kids about the real reindeer too.
Trivia: Reindeer are also called caribou, depending on their location. They are called reindeer in Europe, but in North America, reindeer refers to Eurasian populations, and caribou refers to wild populations in North America, according to the San Diego Zoo. Reindeer also often refers to domesticated animals, while caribou refers to wild populations. Source: LiveScience.com – Facts About Reindeer
