Help--advice!

I'm doing ornaments for the kids at our mom's xmas fun time this week.  I want to do reindeer ornaments, but I'm having trouble deciding.  I have 4-6 variations I can do.  Please take a look and comment which one you like.  These are just mock-ups--so don't pay attention to the color differences--I hand painted these in 2 seconds w/different color paints.  I'm going to spray paint the clothespins, so they will look more uniform, but you can get the idea.

1 A--simple 3 clothespin reindeer.

2 A: more 3 dimensional by adding a craft stick

1 B--taking the simple 3 pin and adding brown poms and antlers (could remove antlers)

2 B--taking the 3 dimensional deer and adding poms and antlers (could remove antlers)

Thanks for your input

I'm going to have different stages of this ornament for kids to finish--for the little ones--just adding nose and eyes.  For bigger ones adding the bell or whatever else is necessary (if we do poms)

i like the second one the best. But not sure why i voted as we're not even going. We are sad to miss it. Have fun!

I like number one, but they're all cute. I'd pick the one that is easiest for the kids to hold while they work them...nothing too delicate!

I have ones similar I made when I was little so the nostalgic in me says to go without the pom poms or antlers on either version... I think the 'plainer' ones look good even on a 'fancy' Christmas tree. :) Happy Crafting!!!
