Add about 3 tablespoons of oatmeal to a bowl.You can measure this out or just estimate the amount. The exact quantity isn't important as long as it fills your bag.
Next add in a few sprinkles of sparkly sanding sugar. We used clear and green for this bag of reindeer food.This sparkly sugar is the magical ingredient!
Next add in some colourful sprinkles to help attract the reindeer's attention.We measured with our heart when adding these sprinkles. Just add whatever amount looks right to you (we probably added 1 Tablespoon total between the sanding sugar and sprinkles).
Next, use a spoon to mix up the reindeer food.
If you're going right outside to sprinkle the food, there's no need to package it up.But if you're giving the reindeer food as a cute little Christmas present you'll definitely want to add the magic food to a small Ziploc bag.
Step 3: Print off and attach the reindeer food poem
Print off a reindeer food poem to add to the bag. We have 4 different reindeer food printables available (find the links below!).We recommend printing on cardstock, but regular printer paper will also work.
Cut out the label and then fold it in half.
Open the label back up and add glue tape to the inside.
Line up the label with the top edges of the reindeer food bag.
Then simply press down the other side of the label.If you don't have glue tape you can staple the poem onto the bag.
Step 4: Have fun sprinkling the reindeer food
Your reindeer food is complete! Enjoy using it yourself, or give it away to friends and neighbours as a cute holiday favour.
Follow the poem's instructions and sprinkle the reindeer food outside on Christmas Eve for Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph to enjoy!
