Jenn Lifford,

These Thanksgiving turkey treats are so easy to make and are perfect for the kids’ table at Thanksgiving {or the adult table too!}. We ended up making 25 of these little guys for Matthew’s class at school. They actually go together really quickly and I think they SO cute!

These Thanksgiving candy turkey treats are so much fun to make with the kids. Perfect for class treats or the Thanksgiving table! These would be a fun project to do with the kids and you could always wrap up the candy with Saran wrap first you wanted extra candy protection.

Materials

tulle {I found some 9″ round tulle circles at the dollar store which worked perfectly!}
Reese’s Pieces or M&Ms in fall colors
pipe cleaners {yellow, orange, brown, and red}
google eyes
glue {I used Quick Grip}
small clear hair elastics {also much cheaper at the dollar store!}

These Thanksgiving candy turkey treats are so much fun to make with the kids. Perfect for class treats or the Thanksgiving table! To Do

Place your candies in the middle of the tulle circles and secure closed with the elastic bands. Leave enough excess tulle to form the “feathers” in the back.
To form the head, cut the brown pipe cleaner to approximately 6 inches. Roll up the pipe cleaner leaving about 2 inches at the end.
Cut a piece of the orange pipe cleaner to form the beak {just over 1 inch} and wrap it around the outer coil of the brown pipe cleaner.

Cut a red piece of pipe cleaner for the wattle and glue google eyes on either side of the beak.
For the feet, cut a yellow pipe cleaner to approximately 8 inches and fold the end into three toes. Check the video if you’re having troubles with this step.
