Elf idea: Reindeer food to sprinkle outside
The elf leaves a bag of oats and sprinkles with instructions to scatter it outside on Christmas Eve. It takes about 5 minutes and hardly any effort; you need plain flour, icing sugar, oats or rice, cake sprinkles or hundreds and thousands, paper, card and envelopes, felt tips, crayons and a marker pen.

Reindeer snacks. Oats, not glitter, because the birds eat it after. Scatter it tonight.
