My mom was the best and little making fun seasonal treats. She made little witch hat cookies with Hershey’s kisses at Halloween, little turkeys with fudge stripe cookies at Thanksgiving and rice crispy treat nests at Easter.
I have so many fun memories of bringing these special treats to holiday parties and showing them off in my school lunch. This was all way before Pinterest too! Shout out to you Mom! All of the treats were yummy, but the best part was making them together. Today I want to share a fun turkey treat that you can make with your own littles!
I’ve seen a cute turkey idea using an oatmeal cream pie pop up on Instagram this season, but I wanted to make it more hands-on! I created these black and white craft pieces for your little turkey to color and help make treats for their friends, family or classmates! This would be also fun to do with a class at school!
Here are the super simple directions:
1. Just print the Turkey Treat Printable. One page includes enough pieces to make two turkeys. You could also print on this for sturdier pieces.
2. Have your child color the pieces. Younger children would probably enjoy using crayons to decorate (these large ones are great for tiny hands) and older children might have more fun with these. A little gift tag is included if your little one will be giving their masterpiece turkey treat away.
3. Cut out all of the pieces and glue on the package of an oatmeal cream pie. I recommend using these for easy gluing!
4. Feel free to post a picture of your turkey treats and tag me on Instagram!
Hope your littles have fun making these treats! Happy Thanksgiving!
