When my kids were young, we made "reindeer sandwiches" for Christmas party treats. Make peanut buter sandwiches, cut off crusts and cut the sandwich in half diagonally. insert pretzel sticks in the long side of the triangle for the antlers, use raisins for the eyes and a marischino cherry half for the nose. ("Glue" the eyes and nose on with a dab of peanut butter.
I know we are more conscious of food allergies now than we were back then, but if none of the children are allergic to peanut butter, it should work!!
Have fun and enjoy the holiday season with your children. Before you know it, they'll be coming home from college for the holidays and you'll be so glad you made memories when they were at home!!
