How to Make Magic Reindeer Food

It’s that time of year again. We are all busy with office parties and special holiday events and last minute shopping for Christmas presents. Everyone remembers to make cookies and leave the milk for Santa Claus, but many forget his reindeer. The reindeer must fly all around the world in one night and will need their energy as well. Here is a great recipe for Santa’s reindeer that will help them find your house during the night.

What You Need:

½ cup oatmeal
Glitter
Small plastic bag
Construction paper
Markers
Ribbon

Steps:
1. Mix the oatmeal and the glitter until well mixed and add to the plastic bag.
2. Cut the construction paper 2 ½ X 4 ½ inches.
3. On the construction paper write this poem:
Sprinkle this magic reindeer food outside tonight.
The moonlight will make it sparkle bright.
As the reindeer fly and roam.
This magic dust will guide them to your home.

4. Attach the construction paper to the plastic bag. Make a bow out of the ribbon and attach to the bag with the construction paper.
5. On Christmas Eve scatter the magic reindeer food in your yard. The magic in the glitter will help to lead the reindeer to your house.
