I made these cute printables for Christmas and I thought I would share them! The first is a letter to Santa (fill in the blanks), the second is labels for home baked goodies, and the third is for reindeer food!
To make the reindeer food.. simply print out the bad toppers. Use a paper trimmer to trim off the excess on the side, and then trim out the bag topper leaving a good size block of white as shown in the top picture. Add some oats and some glitter to zip lock baggie. Fold the bag topper over the top of the zip loc baggie, and staple it on the sides to hold it in place. This is a really fun and unoriginal (it's all ready all over the web... LOL!) project, especially for pre-school kids!

Please do not sell or profit from the things you make using these printables. They are (c) 2008 Missy Ballance, but I didn't print that on the printables because I didn't want to mess them up for you :) Thanks!! xoxo
We love these! We have been using the reindeer food labels for the last three years!! Your's are the best! Thanks so much.

The Santa letters are super cute! Thanks for sharing these. My kiddos will be filling them out tonight & leave them in our Santa can next to the plate where his cookies will go on Christmas Eve.

You can use those sugar sprinkles instead of glitter to be more wildlife-friendly.

Hey there Missy!
As always you make the cutest stuff. And soooo generous of you. Anyhoo, I left a comment (more like a request for custom order) on your photostream. I don't know where else to ask you because I needed a reference. Thanks, Girl. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Children will get so delighted by seeing the Letter from Santa, and they would like to show this letter to all the friends. Its a wonderful idea to present a printable Letter from Santa to any of your friends on the great occasion.

Reindeer food! That's a great idea, maybe I'll make some for myself to use... :)

It was such a treat to see these in my blog reader. Thanks for sharing, again! They are so adorable that I just had to blog about them. I can't wait to use them!
Posted by: Jess | November 09, 2008 at 12:23 AM
how CUTE is this idea!! I can't wait to share with my neice!! :)
(If people are sprinkling near animal feeders, bird feeders, etc...or afraid the kiddos might try a bite I'd suggest using an edible glitter. You can find at any craft store's baking section :) )
