Magic Reindeer Food

 

Every year I make 'Reindeer Food' for my Grandchildren and, usually, I just put it in a cellophane bag with a topper. However the other day I saw these fabulous little boxes on Angie Kennedy Juda's blog

(here) so I had to make some!

I have used Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive along with Season of Style DSP and made the little Rudolph's on the front with the Small Oval Punch, Bird Builder Punch, Circle Punch and 

some googly eyes.

I have made these for the three eldest of my grandchildren as my youngest Grandson would probably eat it himself!!

For anyone who hasn't heard of Reindeer Food it is oats with glitter - the sparkle from the latter is supposed to guide the reindeer down and the oats are for them to eat while Santa negotiates the chimney :0) This year I have splashed out on (the rather expensive) edible glitter after reading that ordinary glitter can be harmful to wildlife (the birds that is not the reindeer!!)

Here is the poem that goes with the food (which is on the back of these boxes)

Just a sprinkle on the lawn at night,
The moon will make it sparkle bright.
As Santa’s reindeer fly & roam,
This treat will guide them to your home.
