How to Make Magic Reindeer Food for Santa's Reindeer

Experience the the magic of Christmas with your children by preparing for Santa's Reindeer.  They will love helping to make reindeer food and sprinkling it on the ground outside.  

All you need is some oats or oatmeal and glitter.  If you have access to oats that you would feed to horses you can mix it with glitter otherwise oatmeal works too. Just mix the oats or uncooked oatmeal with glitter and put in a container or small bag.  Then let your little ones sprinkle it outside on Christmas Eve.  Younger children love this.  I found a picture of my oldest sprinkling magic reindeer food seven years ago.  Such great memories.  

I made these as party favors for a Mom's group children's Christmas party several years ago so I attached labels with a little poem and tied a bell to each one.  

The poem reads:  On Christmas Eve, sprinkle the magic reindeer food on the lawn.  The magic glitter sparkling in the moonlight and the smell of the oats will guide Rudolph right to your house.

I was not the creative thinker behind Magic Reindeer Food.  My department made this as a favor to send home with children who attended a Christmas party we threw every year at my old school where I taught Family and Consumer Science.
