Two quick and easy Christmas ideas to involve children on holidays in, that I can lay absolutely no claim to! These came from a good friend. She just happens to be a wonderful baker (not at all culinary challenged like me!) and I LOVE these upside down gingerbread men that have been transformed into reindeer 🙂 A raspberry lolly nose and some icing is all it takes.
This reindeer food came from her daughter’s school. I believe it is raw oats mixed with chopped up tinsel (though hundreds and thousands, glitter, tiny stars would also work). The message reads;
“Sprinkle on your lawn at night,
The moon will make it sparkle bright.
When Santa’s reindeer fly and roam,
This will guide them to your home.”
So much fun 🙂
