Free Parts of a Reindeer Worksheet
This parts of a reindeer worksheet has been one of our favorite ways to mix holiday fun with a little science.
My son loves labeling each part, especially when he gets to color the reindeer in fun colors afterward.
It’s simple, hands-on, and a great way to sneak in learning during those busy December days.

What’s Included in the Anatomy of a Reindeer Worksheet
Each animal anatomy worksheet is designed to help kids explore basic reindeer anatomy in a fun, hands-on way.
The worksheets cover six main body parts, and each one is explained in a simple, kid-friendly format.
Your child will learn about:
- Ears, which are covered in fur to keep warm and can swivel to pick up sounds from all directions.
- Antlers, found mostly on male reindeer, which help them dig for food, show dominance, and attract mates.
- Muzzle, where reindeer have a special nose that warms cold air before it reaches their lungs.
- Tail, which is small but helpful for balance and used to signal danger to the herd.
- Legs, strong and agile for long-distance travel through snow and rough terrain.
- Hooves, which change with the seasons, softer in summer, harder in winter, to help with stability and movement on icy ground.
To help reinforce what they’re learning, the printable includes three worksheet options:
- A Word Bank with Arrows page where kids draw lines from the correct word to each part of the reindeer.
- An Arrows Only version for children ready to label without hints.
- A Word Bank Only version with no arrows, encouraging more independent thinking.
Each worksheet also includes a reindeer to color, which adds a bit of creative fun once the labeling is done. It’s a great way to combine early science skills with holiday excitement, perfect for homeschool mornings, classroom centers, or December downtime.
Books About Reindeer for Kids
We’ve always found that adding a few reindeer-themed books makes these activities even more fun, especially when we curl up and read together after finishing a worksheet or craft.
The Wild Christmas Reindeer – This one’s been a favorite in our house for years. The illustrations are gorgeous, and the story about Teeka learning to train Santa’s reindeer has such a lovely message about patience and teamwork. It’s one we always come back to in December.
Fritz the Farting Reindeer – Total hit with younger kids, especially if yours are in that giggly stage. It’s silly, it’s cheeky, and it gets laughs every time. Definitely not a quiet bedtime read, but it’s great for lightening the mood.
The Littlest Reindeer – This story about Plucky, a tiny reindeer with big dreams, is perfect for kids who love rooting for the underdog. It’s sweet without being too sugary, and the message about perseverance and holiday spirit really sticks.
