I never did anything like this on my own when I was a kid. I always just thought cookies and carrots were enough – I was wrong! LOL! Reindeer Dust is sprinkled on your front lawn to make it easy for the Reindeer to see your house and know that you’ve been a good boy or girl!

It really is a fun tradition to do with your kids! It really does add to the excitement and countdown till Christmas! I thought it would be fun to create a blog post on How to Make Reindeer Dust.

 

It’s the simplest “recipe” ever and something that ever child (regardless of their age!) could easily master.

Even on Christmas’ where it’s been snowing or raining, it still goes outside! Reindeer Dust is magical – so weather doesn’t bother it!

Make sure you take sometime with your child and make Reindeer Dust!! You can also include a beautiful poem, too!

Here’s one we love to do….

Sprinkle on your lawn at night,
As the moon and stars are shining bright.

As Santa and his reindeer fly and roam,
This will guide them to your home!

Love this so much!!!!!!
