Raindeer Food

**shelly04** · 25-11-2008, 12:03 PM

Hi there,

I am going to be making the raindeer food this afternoon with the children and just wondered if anyone had a nice ryme/poem we could put on the tags around the bags. The children would like to make some for their friend etc.

I have just made some of this for our childminding group party on saturday. This is the poem i used:

On Christmas Eve sprinkle this on your garden. The sparkly bits and glitter shine in the dark so I know to stop at your house and the oats feed my reindeer when I am delivering your presents.

Love Santa xx

hope that helps xx

I did this one last year also, i made some little bags with some of cuts of silk green material i bought, and tied the top with red ribbon, laminated the poem. their like a little keep sake then or can re- use like my children do.

Oats in a bag. Some people use glitter but birds can choke on them so I'm trying out coloured sugar

not sure why but this thread just made me cry...

I thought about the little kids with their bags out in the evening sprinkling the food hoping the reindeer will bring santa...

How very sweet..I love it.

Will definately do this!!

**Helen Dempster** · 10-12-2009, 07:31 PM

Same as above - I never even imagined the poor birdies could choke on glitter

Sugar it is from now on then!

Last year we made little pouches of celephane filled with the mixture and it was a bit fiddly so this year i have got some small sandwhich brown paper bags that we are decorating. Photos to follow!
