This week, we kicked off November, with a fun Thanksgiving Turkey snack. This is a fun project for kids & then makes a healthy snack! Typically Maggie & I do projects like this when Alex naps. This time, I had made a sample turkey ahead of time & Alex sat the entire time pulling apart & eating the turkey. Both girls had a blast with this project!
Supplies:
Apple
Toothpicks
Raisins
Cheerios
Candy corn
Peanut butter (if your kids have peanut allergies, use icing or a butter spread)
Directions:
Place the toothpicks in the apple across the top to make the "feathers".
Use peanut butter to stick cheerios on for eyes & the candy corn on.
Stick raisins onto the toothpicks.
This is so cute! My kiddos would love to do a project like this. xx - Monica

Haha! That is super cute. Such a great idea for an activity for Thanksgiving dinner. While the parents get dinner ready the kids can make a Turkey Treat! Stopping by from Mom Musings. Hope to see you at True Aim!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could so something creative like this with my son, but he's a little more interested in destruction rather than creation :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun and healthy!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this with my youngest.
He's a huge fan of apples and raisins. My oldest...not so much.
