Magic Reindeer Food

Last year during the holidays my students were painting cute little plates for Santa's cookies. One of the sweet little girls was so worried about leaving a snack for the reindeer too. This year I am prepared with Magic Reindeer Food!
Here is the recipe....
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of red or green sugar crystals

Some recipes call for glitter, but that is not a great idea for the wildlife and our wild little ones that may want to sample the snack.

This adorable set was made with scrapbook stamping supplies. I whipped up a set of reindeer party circles for Cate's treats. I love the test tubes! I did a quick Google search and these are made in plastic by tons of companies. Very Cute!


Loved the cupcake reindeer graphic on this sweet tag.

The Idea Room shared this version of the treat with the famous cute poem.

Sprinkle on the lawn at night
The moon (Rudolph's Nose) will make it sparkle bright
As Santa's reindeer fly and roam
This will guide them to your home.

The best part is you can download two versions of the poem tag for FREE here!

We would love to see pictures of your Magic Reindeer Food or other holiday goodies for our little angels! Email us at pluffmuddstudio@gmail.com

Lollipop Tree!

OMG! I love this lollipop tree advent calendar from Garnet Hill. This is a yummy way to count down to Christmas. I was even thinking of putting in our party circle lollipops that represent the numbers or a surprise that is not candy. This will surely make an appearance on our dessert table too! Perfect for cake pops, candy kabobs, etc. :)


Have you found any amazing holiday decorations?

Making my list and checking it twice!

I must admit that I started making my Christmas list months ago. As I visited family and friends, I would type gift ideas into my iphone notes. I have also been pulling out pages from magazines with ideas and some unique gift ideas! I have even been keeping a list of ideas for Cate! With Thanksgiving sales right around the corner, I want to be ready!
Here are a few things on Cate's list for Santa....

First up, these adorable stackable Babushkups from Fred and Friends! Aren't they precious?

Of course Cate is all girl and loves her American Girl Bitty Baby! Santa will be delivering her the stroller and some additional outfits.

Cate is just starting to learn how to play with puzzles. I love the Melissa and Doug wooden puzzles. These oversized pieces will be perfect and some of them even make sounds. With holiday traveling and weekend trips, puzzles are the perfect flat toy that will pack easily in our suitcase too!
What were some of your child's favorite gifts? What is Santa going to bring your little ones? I would love some tips for my little 18 month ball of energy!
