Making "Reindeer Food" is a great kids craft. This simple Christmas craft would also make a great gift for kids that you know.
Put 1/4 cup of oats in each baggie. Add 1/4 tsp. of both red and green sugar crystals. Seal baggie and shake to mix.
This cute poem can be printed on a colorful piece of paper and attach to each baggie:
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!
