Last year my SIL busted out an activity in minutes and it was a huge hit with the kids. Today I was a little desperate for something to help me entertain my kids, so I grabbed a couple of apples, a few toothpicks, and some finger foods, and repeated the activity.
Apple Turkeys
Supplies
- apples
- toothpicks
- finger foods, I used cheerios, raisins, cheese, and goldfish. Ledger wanted to add feet afterward, so we added popcorn for feet, but the turkey was eaten before I snapped a pic showing the feet :)
Stick four toothpicks on the top of each apple, throw the finger foods in separate bowls and let the kids go to town with it. Let them snack on the food while they do it :) My twins who were too young to participate on their own had fun handing me each item from their tray and watching me put it on the toothpicks.
Oh, the mask…Batman (AKA Cannon) wears that mask the majority of each day and it was not coming off just to make turkeys. He really did wear it the entire time. :)
Ledger had just as much fun picking the turkey apart and eating gobbling it right up!
I hope your kids enjoy it as much as mine did.
