Reindeer Snacks

I have done it both of these ways and thought you might want to try one of them. Last year at Christmas time my daughters class made special reindeer food. In snack sized zip lock bags they mixed oatmeal, red sprinkles and green sprinkles. They used tablespoon measures and let the kids pour everything into their own bags. They also printed off a little tag to attach to the bag that read: "Reindeer Food - Sprinkle outside on Christmas Eve for Reindeer." It was really fun to get out there with your kids and help the magic stay alive.

The other way is you take a lunch sack decorate it like a reindeer and fill it with snacks like pretzels, m&m's, raisins, Chex Mix, peanuts, dried fruit, etc. Any kind of trail mix will work. Then on Christmas Eve you put it right by Santa's plate of cookies. Its just a little variation to the Carrots!
