I love the little traditions we have that make Christmas special for my boys and one of them is the fact that we sprinkle Reindeer food on Christmas Eve.
Sprinkle on the lawn at night
The moon will make it sparkle bright
As Santa’s reindeer fly and roam
This will guide them to your home

I haven't re-invented the wheel here, we basically use oats and glitter (you can get edible glitter) or coloured sugar, so that no animals are hurt if they ingest the glitter.
It is dead easy to colour sugar, pop it in a plastic bag, add liquid food colour and shake. If you only have gel food colour you can add that to a few drops of hand sanitiser and shake. We use this as we live in a rural area, but have used glitter too.
Simply mix with oats and pop in a bag and add printable label.
That's cute!
ReplyDeleteI bet my dog would eat it though! :0)
Mmmmh definitely a good idea to leave those reindeer some food... they certainly need all the energy they can get!
