This cute little reindeer wants to grow up to help Santa, just like his big brother Rudolf, but he’s still too little to drive a sleigh. He’s mostly made of fleece with a bit of shimmery red stretch velvet for his bright red nose. He can be made with or without the button joints – you decide! He’d make a lovely Christmas present for the children or he could be used to decorate your Christmas table.
