One of our favorite Christmas Eve traditions is sprinkling “Reindeer Food” on our front lawn. It is simple to make and this is cute poem that I like to read while my son sprinkles it.
“Sprinkle this in your yard on Christmas Eve night. The light of the moon will make it sparkle bright. As Santa’s reindeer fly and roam, this will guide them to your home!”
How To Make Reindeer Food:
To make your reindeer food take 2 TBSP of rolled quick oats and mix with 1 tsp of glitter. You can also add cheerios to the mix if you like! Some people like to use colored sugar instead of glitter as it is safer for pets.
Be sure to “PIN” this great DIY so you will have it when you are ready to make it. Please follow us on Pinterest and enjoy hundreds of recipes, crafts, party planning ideas, gardening, DIY and more.
