Reindeer Food
Oatmeal—uncooked!
Glitter (any color is fine, but we like silver best)
plastic sandwich or snack size bags
Ribbon
Paper or cardstock
Hole puncher (optional)

Pour about 1/4 cup of oatmeal in sandwich or snack-size baggie. Add some glitter. Write out the following message on cardstock:

On Christmas Eve, sprinkle this wonderful Reindeer Food on your lawn or on the entrance to your apartment. The shiny glitter will sparkle in the moonlight and the smell of oats will guide Rudolph to your home.

Punch hole in cardstock. Thread ribbon through the hole, and then use the ribbon to tie the baggie closed.
You can also use zip-lock style bags and glue the cardstock/paper to the bag. We’ve also printed out pictures of Rudolph and put them on the message. Submitted by Michelle
