Illuminated Christmas Reindeer Food

MAGICAL REINDEER FOOD

Steps:

• Pour 3-4 tablespoons of oats into each plastic bag. Add a tablespoon or two of sprinkles. Iridescent sprinkles or red and green sprinkles are good choices; but use what you have on hand. (You can even use the fine sanding sugar used for sand tarts. Just beware: If you mix red and green sugar, the resulting color will be a less festive shade of brown.) Close the baggie with a piece of ribbon, and shake to mix. If using a zipper top bag, punch a small hole in the corner and thread a piece of ribbon through the hole. Make a tag by writing or printing the poem (printed below) onto a piece of paper or card stock. Add the tag to the bag for a fun gift for children to give their friends to use on Christmas Eve-or save and use themselves! After you put out the milk and cookies for Santa, head outside to sprinkle this magic reindeer food on the snow or your lawn.
