Hello everyone! It’s the Christmas season! You may be working on ideas to do with your kids on Christmas Eve and reindeer food will show up in a lot of your search results. A lot of these recipes have glitter in them, and for the sake of preserving wildlife and reducing microplastics, I’d like to put forward a glitter and refined sugar free recipe for reindeer food.

Here’s what you’re going to need:

– Rolled oats

– Shredded Carrots

– Cranberries (fresh or dried)

– Pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

– Sunflower or other bird seed

-a bowl or bag and spoons for mixing!

With these ingredients, if any critters other then reindeer find your mixture, they won’t be harmed by any of the ingredients here!

Here’s a free printable to go along with the activity:

I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
