1. Relax, it's just candy!

Reindeer Poop Recipe

It's so simple, even a five-year-old can do it! (And that's about the age that really enjoys it!)

Reindeer Poop SongOk, parents, so it's Christmas time again and you need a quick, fun and very easy craft for the kiddies. Let's make reindeer poop! I know, I know - it sounds disgusting, and no adult in their self-respecting mind would stoop to something so childish, but, hey, Christmas IS for kids, right? So here's your recipe:

1 Package of malted milk balls, Milk Duds, or other chocolate candy
1 plastic baggie
1 reindeer poop poem (see below)

Take the package of candy and pour into the bag. Seal the bag. Print the poem and attach it to the bag. (See? Didn't I tell you this would be easy?)

If you really want to make it more difficult, you can use this reindeer poop recipe to bake some treats rather than using packaged candy.

What Goes In, Must Come Out

Candy poop must come from candy corn

Reindeer Poop Poem

Your gag gift isn't complete without this

Without the poem, all you've got is a bag of chocolate candy. Add the poem and voila! instant reindeer poop! (Remember when you were a kid and all it took was a little imagination to turn the most mundane objects into something fantastical?) So here's the magic poem (from Reindeer-Crafts.com) that will turn your candy into something unmentionable and put a smile on your child's face:

I woke with such a fright when I heard Santa call...
"Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"
I ran to the lawn and in the snowy white drifts,
those nasty reindeer had left "little gifts."

I got an old shovel and started to scoop
neat little piles of reindeer poop!
But to throw them away seemed such a waste,
so I saved them, thinking-you might like a taste!

As I finished my task, which took quite awhile,
Old Santa passed by and he sheepishly smiled.
And I heard him exclaim as he sped off in the sky...
"Well they're not potty trained, but at least they can fly!"

There are several variations of the reindeer poop poem on the web, so if you don't like the one above, here are alternates you can use.

Christmas is coming
along with Santa's reindeer.
Listen closely on Christmas Eve
and maybe you'll hear.
While Santa leaves gifts
tied with ribbons and bows
the reindeer leave droppings
in neat little rows.

Santa checked his list not once, but twice
and found you've been naughty, and not very nice.
Since coal is expensive, here's the scoop -
he's filled your stocking with reindeer poop!

I heard you've been naughty,
so here's the scoop.
All you get for Christmas this year
is reindeer poop.

Any bloggers making reindeer poop?

... packaging an exhibit about poop in kid friendly colors. There is also a veterinarian station which totally looks like a My Size Barbie playhouse with muted colors where you can watch a veterinarian retrieve an undescended testicle from a reindeer.
The Big Bang Theory "The Friendship Contraction" Review
Don't get me wrong; I always find these episodes amusing, but unlike Penny who has taken on Sheldon and won or Amy who just doesn't play his reindeer games, Leonard never seems to have the balls to follow through on his sticking points.
