Free printable Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer coloring pages, Santa Claus crafts

"You know Dasher and Dancer, But do you recall, the most famous reindeer of all? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!" Here are free printable coloring pages from that beloved Rankin-Bass Christmas cartoon and Little Golden Books. Not part of the original Santa Claus story of eight reindeer in Clement C. Moore's "A Visit From St. Nicholas poem," cowboy Gene Autry added Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, a misfit little reindeer who is shunned for his glowing crimson snout . But as karma would have it, bullied outcasts often perform heroic deeds--such is the story of Rudolph. Needs must, Santa Claus finds Rudolph and his shiny schnozz invaluable in guiding the sleigh to deliver Christmas presents. Little Golden Books came out with a book and Rankin-Bass made a feature Christmas cartoon about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer--which has become a classic.   Free printable Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer coloring pages, Santa Claus crafts | Examiner.com
