Magic Reindeer Food

Magic Reindeer Food

Help Santa & his Reindeer find your home on Christmas Eve and have fun with the kids at the same time!

Sprinkle the mix of oats and edible glitter in the yard, it will glimmer in the moonlight and light the way for Santa's sleigh and the reindeer will have something to snack on while Santa is visiting your home.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup oats
• 1 tsp edible red glitter (make sure this is edible glitter as the craft glitter is harmful to wildlife and the reindeer!)
• 1 tsp edible green glitter

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mix the oats and glitter in a bowl
2. Spoon into a sealable bag or container (enough for each child)
3. Sprinkle on the lawn, porch or driveway
4. Hurry and get to sleep so Santa can make his way to your house and the reindeer can snack on your reindeer food!
