You see, Olive isn't a reindeer at all; she's a dog. But when she hears the classis Rudolph song, particularly the line about "all of the other reindeer", Olive thinks they're talking to...her. Okay, so she may not be the brightest, but she's determined and persistent and oh-so-adorable.

We used:
- Large craft sticks
- Brown paint
- 1 red pom pom
- Glue
- Large googly eyes
- Pipe cleaners
