Notes
Attach The Printable: There are a few ways you can attach the reindeer food poem. You can use a stapler or a hole punch and then guide the pipe cleaner through the hole.
Jingle Bells: Add small jingle bells to the filling for a festive jingle. Avoid them if you’ve got pets who could eat them.
Use Paint: Grab a paintbrush and acrylic paint to add smiles, hair, necklaces, etc on the reindeer. Let the paint set fully before filling the bags.
Make Elves: Glue small Santa or elf hats to the pipe cleaners to swap the reindeers for Santa’s little helpers.
Re-purpose Old Socks: Fill your old Christmas socks with reindeer food. The packets won’t be see-through but you can still decorate them as usual. Toss them out once you’re done or save them for next year.
Push Pops: Fill the push pops with reindeer food according to package instructions and decorate as desired. Then the kids can explode them into the yard!
