Rudolph and Reindeer Toddler Activity Pack

Sometimes in the day when you have a toddler, you need to sit down, take and moment and take a moment to enjoy some quiet time together. So we’ve put together a quiet time pack to play together and help your child learn. Based on the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer this can be used in conjunction with any of the Reindeer and Rudolph activities and crafts to play, create, have fun and learn.

Rudolph and Reindeer Toddler Activity Pack

Like the Nutcracker Activity Pack that I produced for Storybook Advent last year the Rudolph and Reindeer Activity Pack supports pre-writing, scissor skills, letter recognition, and some fun colouring and activity pages.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Books

We have included affiliate links to some of the products and resources as an associate we may earn from qualifying purchases.

Combining reading and activities is a great way to encourage a lifelong love of books and help your child early on with comprehension and discussing stories. These 2 books are our favourite versions of the Rudolph story

There are two versions of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer that you could share aloud with your toddlers and early preschoolers. A classic version which is based on the popular Christmas song or one that features the characters from Toyland. If you can source both of the books it’s great to read them both aloud and talk with them about the differences between the two.

Pre-Writing or Scissor Skills Sheets

In the pack pages, 3 – 5 are perfect for helping your toddlers and preschoolers get the basics of letter formation. See some of our activity suggestions below:

  • You could laminate the pages and provide your child with a dry erase marker and let them trace over the lines.
  • Cut strips with each of the different patterns and laminate – use a ring clip and create a mini booklet. Now your child can use these patterns with a salt tray, or on an easel
  • Cut up the patterns into strips and provide your child with some scissors whilst supervised help them with cutting along on the lines – The first pattern on Page 5 will not work for scissor skills due to the loops

Letter R and r sheets

Pages 6 and 7 are dot sheets, we used these with pom poms and tongs as well as with our dot markers.

  • Laminate the sheets if you wish and use differently sized pom poms to place red noses all over the R and r for Rudolph the reindeerRudolph and Reindeer Toddler Activity Pack to print, play, create and learn with. Free resource for Christmas letter "r" learning and fun.
  • Use the dot marker to fill in the dots – start with just red, but you could extend it by making a repeating pattern of red and greenRudolph and Reindeer Toddler Activity Pack to print, play, create and learn with. Free resource for Christmas letter "r" learning and fun.
