Guest Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Hi Has anyone the poem and reindeer drawing and how it is set out on paper, that I could download Mine has gone missing from my Chritmas box Thanks Rosina
AnonyMouse_1195 Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Make a wish and close your eyes tight, Then sprinkle on your lawn at night. As Santa's reindeer fly & roam This food will guide them to your home. For your gift to the reindeer and Rudolph too Your wish may be real, your dreams may come true. OR It has once been said, That right before you go to bed. You should sprinkle magic reindeer food, To quickly bring Santa and his brood. For many years the legend has been told, To boys and girls, both young and old, Sprinkle the food throughout your yard, Then finding your house won’t be so hard! The reindeer can smell the food for 100 miles, Just do not leave it in big piles! After you do this you must go to sleep very fast, So Santa and his reindeer will not pass!
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Come December 24th, As Santa Flies Here From The North Here's what you do, it isnt hard Just sprinkle this stuff in your yard... That sparkles draw old Santa near And oats attract his 8 reindeer Then just you wait ~ They're on their way PS Happy Holiday! Expecting a visit from Santa? Here is a recipe I have found It is a special reindeer food to sprinkle on the ground The oats are for energy The sparkles are for flight So sprinkle magic reindeer food On the ground on Christmas night All of Santa's reindeer will love this healthy snack and next year Santa and his reindeer surely will be back!
AnonyMouse_79 Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Never heard any of those before! Is this another north / south divide issue??
Guest Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 What goes in the bag? Is it just oats and glitter?
Guest Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 We put sliver glitter and crushed up weetabix in a small enverlope with a drawing of a reindeer and the poem on the front the kids love it Rosina (Up North!)
Guest Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 I've never heard them before either Susan so it can't be a northern thing. I must use one of them this year though. Linda
Guest Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 I love the idea, I was thinking of doing it in some fancy bags and selling it in our entrance hall, for say 50 p or soemthing, all funds to nursery. Dawn
Guest Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 we use oats mixed with glitter i'm from up north and we have used those poems in the past!!
Guest Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 I'm in the Midlands and I've never heard it either........ I like the idea of a fundraising opportunity tho...... will definitely give that a go. Thanks everyone!
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Well, I heard of it for the first time here on the Forum last year ( I'm in Nottingham ) used it and it was extremely well received!! Sue
AnonyMouse_1195 Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 It was my Ta who started making it for the Grotto at the Xmas fair. Just glitter, oats and a few sequins. she puts the poem on the front and ties it with some red and green thin ribbon. Very popular.
AnonyMouse_2760 Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 I have been doing this with my class for the last couple of years. I originally copied the idea after seeing some on sale at another local school's christmas fair!!! We usually mix the oats and glitter together in one big bowl and each child makes their wish and stirs it up. Then once everyone has done this we share it out into little polly bags and tie with xmas ribbon. Kids love it and I do too!!!!
Guest Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 We do it too but we're not in the North! We cut out reindeer shapes and stick on... MAGIC REINDEER FOOD On Christmas Eve, sprinkle on your garden or doorstep. The glitter shining in the moonlight and the smell of oats will guide Santa’s reindeer to your house. then attach a little polybag of oats and glitter. I may have to use a poem this year tho - they are nice!
Guest Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Love this idea, having staff meeting tomorrow 'ideas for christmas' definately one i'll be taking along
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 im going to take it to committee too for then xmas fair
Guest Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Our children absolutley love it and i also give some to the little kids next door. I love it when they are out their on Xmas eve sprinkling their dust. It keeps a little bit of the magic of Christmas alive for them
