How to Draw a Christmas Reindeer for Preschoolers and Children

Here is a very easy-to-follow tutorial for drawing a Christmas reindeer. It is good for those of you who want to draw a simplified & cartoonish style of reindeer…but it is also great for younger children and preschoolers. You can read them the instructions, but there are so many illustrations within the steps that you might not even have to read the steps to them. Have fun drawing!

Step 1

Start off by lightly sketching out 2 ovals in the shape of a number 8, as seen above.

Step 2

Now draw a rounded triangle for a nose…as in a pizza slice.

Step 3

Draw ears by drawing leaf shapes (a flattened oval).

Step 4

Lightly draw a line on the top of the reindeer’s head. Then draw 2 upward curved lines on this line.

Step 5

Use the stick-antlers that you drew in the last step as a guide to draw the real antlers. Draw an outline around them as seen above in brown. You can then erase the stick-antlers (the part that is in blue).

Step 6

Lightly draw letter ‘D’ shapes for each of the hooves…as seen in the picture above.

Step 7

Connect the hooves to the body with 2 lines for each leg.

Step 8

Now draw an oval in the tummy, as seen above.

Step 9

Now erase all the lines that we don’t need anymore (they were the lines that were blue in my drawing). I hope you enjoy your cute little reindeer drawing. If you color his nose red, he will look like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
