Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 — Print and cut Print the ready-made template and cut out Rudolph. Let your little ones take part in cutting along the easier outlines — it's a wonderful scissors practice! You'll need to help them with the antlers and with making the hole for the little red nose.
Step 2 — Add the lollipop Thread the lollipop stick through the hole in the nose and secure it with glue so it stays in place. Choose a lollipop with red wrapping to make Rudolph's little nose even more realistic!
Step 3 — Treat time! Rudolph with his sweet red nose is ready! A treat so adorable it seems a shame to eat — but we're sure nobody will be able to resist!
