Gobble Up Some Fun: Easy Turkey Apple Treats for Kids!

At Bright Star Childcare, we love finding fun and healthy ways to celebrate the seasons! With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we've got a super cute and simple snack idea that your little ones will adore: Turkey Apple Treats!

These adorable little turkeys are not only delicious but also a fantastic way to encourage healthy eating and get creative in the kitchen. Plus, they're so easy to make, even the tiniest hands can help!

Here's what you'll need:

• Red apples (or green, for a colorful flock!)

• Pretzel sticks ( or toothpicks)

• Candy eyes (optional, but they make them extra cute!)

• Peanut butter or cream cheese (for "glue" – check for allergies!)

• Candy corn or small pieces of carrot/cheese (for the beak and snood)

• Colorful-Marshmallows or Gum Drops

• 1 Large Marshmallow

• Chocolate Chips

• Raisins, Cheerios, Etc.

Let's get crafting!

1. Slice the Apples: Start by carefully slicing your apples into rounds. These will be the "bodies" of your turkeys.

2. Add the Feathers & Colorful Mini-Marshmellows: Break pretzel sticks in half and gently insert them into the top of the apple slice, fanning them out like turkey feathers.
