Raindeer food

[Tink]

Hi I was thinking of making some Reindeer food this year, have any of you any ideas what to put in it? e.g. bird seed, don't want to hurt the birds

I usually do oats and edible glitter. But I was thinking of doing bird seed with the glitter this year.

Won't the glitter harm the birds though? Sorry just seen the edible bit

[rickysmiths]

We used to use ordinary glitter! You have to have the glitter so the reindeers can see the glittering path to your house!

Thanks for the ideas, never thought about porridge

I use coloured sherbert or coloured sugar (think Silver Spoon make one) and mix it up with some porridge oats and bird food and suet (extra fat for the little birdies).

Oh! Where does one get edible glitter?? I've never heard of it (I'm new and not very crafty ).

You can get it from Amazon.

If you google edible glitter lots of on-line shops come up.
