On Christmas Eve, sprinkle this magic reinder food on your lawn. As soon as you are asleep, the glitter will begin to sparkle in the moonlight and light Santa’s way to your house. Dasher and the reindeer will enjoy the oats while Santa is busy delivering your gifts!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
- 1 tsp edible red glitter (like for decorating cakes)
- 1 tsp edible green glitter
Directions:
- Mix oats and glitter in a small bowl until combined.
- Spoon into a snack-size ziplock bag and seal carefully.
- Add a copy of the note above. You can decorate it with stickers, markers, etc. Make it festive!
We made lots more and put it bowl with the reindeer’s names on them “so everyone got some” – children know!
Craft glitter can harm birds or wildlife if ingested. For safety, substitute colored sugar crystals and be kind to animals!
