Here's a recipe everyone already knows, magic reindeer food! You sprinkle this on your lawn and reindeer come and eat it for you! This is a great activity for kids and it really gets them into the Christmas spirit!
Here's the recipe:
1 cup of dry oats
1\2 cup of red and green sparkles
1\4 cup of festive sprinkles
If you make this with your kids then you should tell your kids what everything stands for. Say: "The oatmeal stands for a hearty meal for Santa's reindeer, so they can fly all around the world to give gifts to others too. The sparkles stand for the magic of Christmas, in the moon-light they sparkle and shine to show Santa the way to everyone's yard. The sprinkles stand for how sweet the reindeer are, some even say that if you add a pinch more of sprinkles, just a pinch, the reindeer will feel generous and tell Santa to give you more presents!"
I hope everyone can make some family time and do this with your kids! It's so much fun to see how interested they get when you tell them what everything stands for!
