Reindeer — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 16:41:23 +0000

Santa's reindeer get hungry flying all around the world on Christmas Eve. That's a lot of flying! So they need energy along the way to keep them going. Here's a magic reindeer food recipe that will help you make a special treat for those hungry deer. Just mix it up and sprinkle it on the lawn Christmas Eve. Rudolph and his friends will appreciate it!

Magic Reindeer Food Recipe
- 1/4 cup dry oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- handful of green sugar sprinkles

Mix ingredients together well. Then store in a jar until Christmas. On Christmas Eve, sprinkle liberally on the lawn and then hop into bed! The magic food will help guide Santa's reindeer to your house and make sure they don't miss you.

If you're giving the reindeer food as a gift for someone else to sprinkle on their lawn, you can add one of these poems to the jar:

Magic Reindeer Food Poem #1
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!

Magic Reindeer Food Poem #2
Up on the housetop reindeer pause,
And wait for jolly Santa Claus.
While Santa's spreading his good cheer,
Let's leave some food for his reindeer.

How to Make a Popsicle Stick Reindeer

Reindeer — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 09:05:26 +0000

This page will show you how to make a simple popsicle stick reindeer. This craft is great for small kids, but fun for slightly older kids, too. And it's quick and cheap - you can make a popsicle stick reindeer in about five minutes with very simple supplies.

Materials Needed
- 3 popsicle sticks
- 2 googly eyes
- 1 red pom pom
- glue

Directions for Making a Popsicle Stick Reindeer
1. Glue 2 popsicle sticks together in the shape of a V.
2. Glue the third popsicle stick across the others about a third of the way from the top so the bottom sticks poke out at the top like antlers.
3. Glue the googly eyes just under the cross stick to make the eyes.
4. Glue the red pom pom at the point of the V-shaped sticks to make the nose.

How to Make Reindeer Poop

Reindeer — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 08:00:16 +0000

This is a fun and incredibly easy Christmas craft project that elementary school kids will love! All you need is some candy, a plastic bag, and a bit of imagination. Here's the recipe:

1 bag of Milk Duds, chocolate-covered raisins, malted milk balls or other candy

1 plastic Ziploc bag

1 "reindeer poop" poem

A good sense of humor

Take the candy from its wrapper and pour into the Ziploc bag. Seal the bag. Print and attach the reindeer poem (below). Give to someone with a good sense of humor.

Pretty easy, eh?

But here's the important part. Without the poem, all you've got is a bag full of chocolate candy. To turn it into reindeer poop, you'll need the magic poem below:

I woke up with such scare when I heard Santa call...
"Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"
I ran to the lawn and in the snowy white drifts,
those nasty reindeer had left "little gifts."

I got an old shovel and started to scoop,
neat little piles of reindeer poop!
But to throw them away seemed such a waste,
so I saved them, thinking-you might like a taste!

As I finished my task, which took quite awhile,
Old Santa passed by and he sheepishly smiled.
And I heard him exclaim as he sped off in the sky...
"Well they're not potty trained, but at least they can fly!"
