How to make the reindeer food bags

  1. Print at 100% scale, ideally on thicker paper; page 2 also works on A4 sticker paper.
  2. Cut out the toppers and the labels along the thin lines.
  3. Fill a small bag (up to about 8.5 cm wide) with reindeer food and write your name after “From:”.
  4. Fold the topper along the dashed line over the top of the bag and staple it shut – or stick a label on a bigger bag or a jar.
  5. On Christmas Eve, before bed, sprinkle the food on the lawn or the balcony in front of the house.

Reindeer food recipe

Mix everything in a bowl and spoon it into the bags.

No glitter or sequins: in the morning, birds and other animals eat what is left, and plastic harms them. No chocolate, raisins or grapes either – they are poisonous to dogs.

For grown-ups: the same topper on a bag of sweets is a small gift for someone at work – in Germany, “Rentierfutter” is exactly that. The sweets are for people and never go on the lawn.
