In recent years, leaving out oats mixed with glitter as a treat for Father Christmas's reindeer has become a popular tradition. However, this seemingly harmless practice has negative environmental impacts. Glitter, often made from plastic, can harm wildlife and ecosystems, taking hundreds of years to break down and accumulating toxins.
Instead, why not grow some eco-friendly treats for the reindeer? Microgreens are an excellent option, as they are easy and quick for kids to help grow indoors much safer for kids to leave out for the reindeer. Plus, they are a tasty addition to soups and sandwiches!
