Santa’s Magic Reindeer Dust
O
n Christmas Eve, when the moon shines bright, Close your eyes with all your might. Step outside and with a wish throw the dust into the night. Now hurry up and run inside, shut out the light, jump into bed for Santa’s reindeer fly overhead.
The moon will make the dust shine bright and guide the reindeer to the light. When Santa’s reindeer fly and roam, the dust will guide them to your home, and if you’re sleeping sound and tight,they will stop with all their might and make your Christmas a DELIGHT!
Make your own!
Mix 2 Tbl. Oatmeal or Bird Seed with 1 Tbl. Glitter, and place in bag tied with a colorful ribbon.
With all the excitement of Christmas this is the one tradition that never fails. We hope it works for you!
Happy Holidays!

Thank you for the great experience, for taking the time in talking to us and show us how to throw dough to my 8 year old. We had much fun. The kids loved the Pizza Tour!
