Christmas DIY - Reindeer Food

So its that time of year again where our lives are taken up by shopping, baking mince pies, decorating the house and many other things to do before CHRISTMAS EEEK! This post is one for everyone. I will be showing you how to make Reindeer food to sprinke on your lawn to guide Santa to your home! Parents can do this for their kids and if you have younger siblings this is a great way to enjoy the Christmas excitement together. You could also use it as a business opportunity and sell to your local community for a good cause or just to make some extra cash to make up for breaking the bank from buying gifts! Anyone can do this as its quick and easy, just stick on Michael Buble's Christmas album and you are ready to start enjoying the festive season:)
Here is how you make your own Reindeer food:

You will need:

1. Caster Sugar
2. Oats/Bird food
3. Sprinkles/Sugar Decorations
4. Festive Ribbon
5. Small Plastic Bags
6. Scissors

Step 1:

The first step is to pour some sugar and oats and/or bird feed into the bowl and mix

Step 2:

Then add your sprinkles or sugar decorations into your bowls. I used some red sprinkles and then after I found some Christmas shape sugar decorations, pictured at the beginning, so added them as well hehehe. Mix until everything is spread around evenly.

Step 3:

Bag up and tie with some ribbon! I found my small bags on amazon and they only cost around £1 for 100. This photo is beautifully taken by my Mother aha:)

Step 4:

This is completely up to you but for my Reindeer food as I was selling them at a local market I made up some labels with the Reindeer food rhyme. 

The rhyme is:

Sprinkle on the lawn at night

The moon will make it sparkle bright

As Santa's reindeer fly and roam

This will guide them to your home

Now you have a lovely treat for the reindeer on Christmas Eve and something to guide Santa to your home to drop off the kids presents:)
