Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are a few easy things that we did at our Thanksgiving party. 

We wrote 4 things we're thankful for and made our own hand print turkeys. You can't see it very well, but I wrote the 4 things that the kids were thankful for next to each "feather" on the turkey. 
 

We  made turkey snacks using apples, marshmallows, and candy. It works really well to cut the apple in half and cut out the seeds before you start. The first day we did it, I gave each student their own apple and there was a lot that was wasted. So the second day, I gave each child half an apple and it was much better. 
 

Here's What You Need:
  • apple
  • circus peanut candy
  • colored marshmallows
  • toothpicks
  • twizzler nibbles
  • yellow frosting
Here's What You Do:
  1. Pipe eyes and a beak on the circus peanut. Cut a twizzler nibble to the shape of the snood. 
  2. Use frosting to attach snood next to the beak.
  3. Put marshmallows on the toothpicks and stick them into the apple in a feather type pattern.
  4. Use frosting to attach the body to the front of the apple.
