Magic Reindeer Food Poem

For those of you who are new to the idea of Magic Reindeer Food, read this poem that’s included on the free printable tags that go with this recipe:

Under the stars of Christmas Eve night,

This Magic Reindeer Food will sparkle bright.

In guiding Rudolph to your house,

You’ll have to be as quick as a mouse.

Go outside and sprinkle it on your lawn,

And Santa will visit before it’s dawn.

How To Use Reindeer Food

When I was a child, we always opened our ChristmasEve presents, got into our pajamas, set out some milk and cookies, and then sprinkled the Magic Reindeer Food on the lawn right before bed.

It was always fun and exciting thinking about how Rudolph was on his way, and I was lending a helping hand.

So, I encourage you to mix up this easy recipe for Magic Reindeer Food and package it up for your children and other neighborhood kiddos. And keep this simple tradition alive. The recipe itself can, of course, be altered since Reindeer aren’t too picky.

But keep in mind that you don’t want to include anything in the recipe that could be dangerous to animals, like dried fruit, chocolate, glitter, etc. Stick with things like oats, nuts, and sugar-based products that will dissolve easily.
