There are so many sugary treats out this time of year! Halloween brings non-stop sweets that last all the way through Valentine’s Day. Fun food like this Thanksgiving Fruit Turkey get kids excited about eating some of the healthy stuff too!
Thanksgiving Fruit Turkey Supplies:
- pear or apple for the body
- raisins
- carrot
- peanut butter
- grapes or favorite cut up fruit
- wooden skewers
These turkeys are easy to make and great for Thanksgiving morning! Kids can make and eat them while you watch the parades or while dinner is cooking.
I stick the skewers into the pear and let my kids stick the grapes or other fruit onto the dull end. If your kids are younger and aren’t used to having fruit on a stick you can clip both ends off to make it safer.
We stick the raisin eyes and carrot nose onto the pear with peanut butter. Super easy!
Is it weird/wrong that I want to come live at your house because of all the fun things you do!? Hope all is well, love all your posts and can’t wait to do a lot of this stuff with my little one!
Steph you are welcome anytime!!! 🙂
Looks yummy! And I love that the kids can really be involved in the process as well.
It gives us more time to grab a cup of coffee! Ha! Thanks Jackie!
