    This is such a great idea and practical too. Just in time for the holiday season and even kids would love to do it. Thank you for the coupons. This adds to the many uses of the Ziplock. I will check this out.

    This is such a cute idea, Easter we planted jelly beans and the grew into lollipops. We are always looking for new traditions to pass along and I can see this one becoming a favorite for the household.

    Such a great idea! Every Christmas I take my little bro out (he’s 5 now) to sprinkle some reindeer dust to ‘guide them to us’. Such a cute idea and makes it so magical 🙂

    ” delivering a new holiday tradition your children will cherish year after year” What I think that, if you can tell something special to your kids, they might more understandable different cultural.

    It’s kinda weird to mix oats and glitter. It’s the thought that counts though. I liked the reindeer poem though. Maybe I’d do something similar but nothing using edibles. 🙂

      Reindeer need the glitter to glisten against the moonlight and of course the glitter falls to the grass, while the oat remains atop for them to snack on. This snack is NOT for humans only reindeer.

    I can imagine the smiles on the kids faces once they receive the Ziploc brand bags, they will be so happy. Personally I would love to see the glowing of the magic Reindeer dust under the moonlight.

    This is quite interesting DIY to do this season. I agree on you, Ziploc® Brand products are amazing! Ziploc® Brand bags cannot be only used as candy crusher or as a cookie dough savior; I also used it in organizing stuff in the kitchen. Thanks for the digital coupon and also for the templates and printables! Cheers!

    Wow! This is unique. Since I’m not really from the US all we really get excited about before was Santa and the Santa Socks. I think this artistic craft of using oats and glitters for raindear food will pick up our child’s Christmas mood even more.

    I couldn’t help but notice that you left Rudolph from the list of reindeers! This is a fun project and I love the concept. However, I feel a bit sad that the oatmeal will just be scattered around someone’s lawn/front porch (?)…

      It is a fun project and the animals all eat up the oatmeal or it fades into the dirt of YOUR Own home not the neighbors. This is for fun MAU it is to help kids who love to greet Santa’s reindeer, all in fun
