Thanksgiving Ideas - for the kids

Over the next few days I'm going to post some different Thanksgiving ideas since turkey day is almost here! Today is all about making the kiddies happy (and keeping them busy!)

Harvest Blessing Mix - fun for the kids to make, and to give as gifts. Each ingredients represents something..

'Cornucopias' can be made out of store-bought ice cream cones, then filled with treats. I've done these on a few occasions, and tried a couple of different ways. They are kind of a pain, but super cute in the end. If you have a steamer/rice cooker, that is the easiest way to do it IMO, however, this method also works. This definitely requires an adult (but the kids can fill them!)

These are filled with Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix.

"Acorn" Cookies - no bake, just assemble and eat!


More edible cornucopias! No recipe, just Bugles chips with the ends dipped in white chocolate, then dipped in sprinkles and colored candy pieces (these are Sixlets). I made a Thanksgiving Snack Mix with them one year.

What do you do to keep the kids occupied while the turkey is cooking?!
