Wildlife Friendly Reindeer Food

WILDLIFE FRIENDLY REINDEER FOOD

Steps:

• Pour the oats, seeds, 1/2 of the cranberries and all of the apricots into a large bowl. Get the kids to add a pinch of magic from a bowl or the air for extra fun!
• Give everything a good stir until it is completely combined.
• Divide the remaining cranberries between the bags.
• Spoon the reindeer food mixture into the bags on top of the cranberries.
• Wrap a pipe cleaner around each bag to tie it closed, then wrap the two loose ends around your finger to curl into antlers.
• Glue two googly eyes to each bag.
• Print off as many labels as you need, then cut down to size and punch a hole in each one.
• Tie a label onto each reindeer with string.
• Store in a cool dry place until Christmas Eve, when you can sprinkle the reindeer food outside your house to attract Santa's reindeer!

REINDEER FOOD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. Put all the ingredients (except the apricots, sultanas and sweets) in a large bowl. Stir everything well, then spread out onto two baking trays in an even layer. Put the tray in the oven for 40 mins.
• Leave the granola to cool on the tray, then break it up into small chunks and stir in the sultanas and apricots.
• Put the granola in a jar ready for breakfast. To make it suitable for magic reindeer, put a few spoonfuls into a small paper bag and mix in some sweets.
• Tie with string or a ribbon and add a fun label for Father Christmas to find.
