Smiling Reindeer with Big Antlers and Round Nose

A friendly young deer stands in side view facing left, with a small smile and a big round eye with a swirl in the middle. The nose is a round circle at the tip of the snout, which looks a lot like a Rudolph-style reindeer. Tall branching antlers rise from the head, with several pointed tines on each side, and one pointed ear sits just behind them. The body is plain and uncluttered with a long neck, four straight legs, and a short tail that has a few lines near the tip. The wide open spaces on the body are easy for small hands to fill in. Try coloring the nose bright red for a holiday look, or use browns and tans for a realistic forest deer. The antlers also give kids good practice with careful, small coloring. This free printable works well for a quiet winter afternoon.
