Christmas is a magical season. I love to see children light up at the thought of Santa, his reindeer, and his one night trek around the globe. There’s so much magic and fun during this time of year.

The magic of Christmas can be one of the most special parts of the holiday season. There are all all kinds of ways to foster magical ideas and help your children enjoy the romance of the season.

There are many stories as to how the legend of Santa’s Reindeer came to be. Although there are many one thing is for sure, kids love them.

What is reindeer food made of?

2 ½-3 cups Quick Oats
5 Brown Pipe Cleaners
5 Plastic Sandwich Baggies
Glitter, assort. colors
Glue Stick
Googly Eyes
Red Poms

How do you make Reindeer food?

Put the oats in a bowl, and mix in 1-2 Tablespoons of each color of glitter.
Cut the zippered tops off each baggie and pour ½ cup of oat mixture into each baggie. Make sure to pour it into the corner of the baggie.
Now, take a pipe cleaner and tie each baggie closed. Twist it a few times around and leave the ends sticking up. Bend each of the ends back and forth a few times to resemble antlers.
Glue two googly eyes and a red pom on each bag.
On Christmas Eve, children can sprinkle it on the lawn to feed Santa’s reindeer!
