To start, cut out 10 pairs of antlers from the brown paper. Then, flip the cups upside down and glue the antlers to the back. Next, add the googly eyes to the front of the cups. Don’t forget to glue on the red pompoms for the noses of the reindeer.
Once the glue is dry, set up the cups like bowling pins and use a small sports ball to knock them down.

5. Reindeer Cookie Decorating Station
For a fun activity, set up a cookie decorating station. You can use a gingerbread cookie cutter and pre-made dough to cook in the oven so that you have a batch of cookies. The gingerbread shape turned upside down is easily transformed into a reindeer by decorating the arms and legs with white icing to look like antlers.
