It’s no secret that we talk about the magic of Christmas a lot here at Smart School House. I shared the super secret recipe that Santa gave me for Reindeer Food (you can see it here) and we even discussed Santa’s Magic Key (see that here). This is a creative idea for kids (and grown-ups!) this Christmas! We adore these mini donuts for elves.
