Whenever we create gifts for parents for holidays like Christmas, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day we like to wrap our presents. This year we are wrapping our holiday calendars them using this cute reindeer brown paper bag design. This is a cute picture tutorial from an idea that I got online.
Students to use lunch sized brown bags and construction paper to make an adorable reindeer!
This is my favorite way to wrap Christmas gifts for parents from my kindergartners. The final product is adorable and fits most gifts we’ve made over the years.
If your parent gift can fit into a brown lunch sack, this will work for you too. I hope this easy Christmas gift wrap reindeer craft can work for you too.
Easy Gift Wrap – Reindeer Style
You’ll need the following items:
- Lunch-size Brown Paper Sacks {Bags}
- 2 Large Brown Construction Paper Squares per Child
- 2 Small White Construction Paper Rectangles per Child

Gift Wrap Tutorial
Here are the steps on how to wrap a kindergarten gift the easiest way!
1. Trace 2 hands onto brown construction paper. Cut out {yep, slightly tricky for kinders} but turns out adorable.
2. Cut out 2 large white eye ovals, two small black pupils and 1 red nose all from construction paper.
3. Glue the eyes and nose onto the bag and slip in the child’s gift.
4. Fold the top and then the corners down.
5. Staple closed when you staple the two hand prints to be the antlers.
That’s it!
Your students can add their name onto the back of the antlers so you know which bag belongs to who – but it’s a craft and gift wrap all in one!
