Sprinkle on the lawn at night,

The moon will make it sparkle bright.

Santa's reindeer fly and roam,

This will guide them to your home.

 

Here's a "recipe" for making your own Reindeer Food - don't forget to sprinkle it on your lawn on Christmas Eve :)

 

Dry oatmeal
Granulated sugar

Colored sugar

 

Mix in a bowl or shake up in a ziploc and put into individual baggies or containers for each child to sprinkle on the lawn.

 

The fun thing is that you can add whatever you like to it!  We have added m&m's and fruity pebbles before too!   You could also add birdseed or stale breadcrumbs to share the reindeer food with the birds too!
