DIY Reindeer Puppet

When I had the opportunity to meet all of Seri's family in Toronto last month, I had no clue what a treat I was in for meeting her Aunti Marissa. She really is the MASTER of kids crafts. Every single craft she came up with totally cracked us up. Not to mention, completely genius ideas for kids of any age.

One of the favorites for this holiday season was the Reindeer Paper Bag Puppet.
