Pilgrim Hats: Kids’ Thanksgiving Food Craft

Pittsburgh Parent,

By Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living

 

With the dawn of fall comes falling leaves, cornucopia, apples, and of course Thanksgiving and Pilgrims. We wanted to celebrate the fall with a festive Thanksgiving Food Craft for the kids – Pilgrim Hats. The recipe craft is simple, cookies, Rolos, starburst and melting chocolates.

These would be a great snack for a Thanksgiving class party! Just check for allergies in the classroom.

Enjoy these festive Pilgrim Hats for your Thanksgiving Dessert. They will be a fun Thanksgiving Tradition with the kids!
