• Red gumballs
• Scissors
• Stapler

Directions:

1. Fill treat bags with several Whoppers candies for reindeer noses and one red gumball to represent Rudolph’s nose.
2. Print, stamp or emboss your cardstock to create a treat bag topper that reads “Reindeer Noses.”
3. Fold down the treat bag, then fold the cardstock in half horizontally and staple to the top of the treat bag to secure.

Your kids will want to get in on the action while you’re skewering these little guys inspired by Flexible Dreams.
