Or make one of these to place by the fireplace to hold the "stocking overflow".  Santa always brings us more than our stockings will hold... er, except for daddy who has a stocking large enough to hold a small sports car!

This is appropriate for ages 3+.  Older children may prefer the angel carton.

Materials you will need for the reindeer container are:

• an empty 2 litre (1/2 gallon) milk carton, 
• a printer (optional), 
• glue or tape, 
• scissors, 
• 2 sheets of white construction paper or typing paper,
• brown paint, markers or crayons

INSTRUCTIONS

• Paint or color your white paper brown (we painted it) and let dry.
    
• Print out the template of choice or make your own template pieces, whichever you prefer. 
   
• Color template pieces (if you chose the B&W version)
    
• Cut out the pieces.
    
• You can glue the antlers onto a old cereal box to make them a bit more sturdy.
     
• Cut the top off a milk carton and discard the top (or save it for a different craft).  You can cut off as much of the top as you like... it depends on how tall you want your container to be.
