If you are looking for a fun Christmas craft, this Reindeer Food is going to be a hit! Everyone feeds Santa, but who remembers the reindeer? You will! The reindeer are going to love stopping by your house this Christmas!
How do you make Reindeer Food? It’s easy to make and so much fun to do with the kids! They are going to have so much fun feeding the reindeer, they are going to want to feed the reindeer all over the neighborhood. It doesn’t take a lot of ingredients either, just a couple of ingredients and you are ready to make it!
Can you give this Reindeer Food as a gift? Sure! Why not make up a batch or two and deliver it along with your other food gifts! We want the reindeer to get lots of treats all over don’t we? I don’t know about you, but I am always looking for fun, crafty things to do with the kids over the holidays and during their school breaks. This is one of those crafts that I just love.
WHY IT WORKS:
- The reindeer will love that you thought of them and Santa will appreciate it too!
- Makes a fun holiday gift to hand out with your early holiday food gifts.
- Fun to make and easy enough for the kids to do on their own (with a little adult supervision for the littles).
CRAFT VARIATIONS:
- Choose any color of sprinkles and add a little more color to the glitter to brighten it up a bit.
- You can create any size bag of reindeer food, but the small bags make sense for each child to be able to feed the reindeer on their own.
CRAFTER’S TIPS:
- You can use your own photo printer to make these printables, however, it is quicker, easier and cheaper to just have it done at your local drug store such as Walgreens or CVS as the 4×6 prints are often quite inexpensive (do a search for a promo code before you order)!
- Use a glitter glue to sparkle up your reindeer tag a little bit.
