	Thanksgiving Recipes Pies & Cobblers Christmas Ideas & Crafts Christmas Books & Videos From: Peggy Fleisher I have an easy craft idea that I hope you will like. It is for making an apple and gumdrop turkey. This turkey is kind of figurative but my daughter enjoys making one every year. Sarah likes to make this turkey when we visit people around Thanksgiving to give to them. What you need: You need per child: one apple eight toothpicks twenty five gum drops one spice drop or other candy What you do: Place the apple on a table with the stem facing the child. Have your child thread two gum drops on a toothpick and put the spice drop or other candy that is a little larger than a gum drop on the top. Do not let the tooth pick go all the way through this last piece of candy. This forms the head and neck of the turkey. Insert the toothpick into the apple at the end away from the stem. Now thread three gumdrops on five toothpicks. These will be the tail feathers of the turkey. Insert them in a fan shape near the stem of the apple. Then turn the apple over and put three gumdrops on two toothpicks to make the feet. Insert the two toothpicks that are the legs at an angle on the bottom of the apple. When you stand it up it does look like a turkey. Of course, kids will want a couple of gum drops to eat. "Turkey Soup" Gift & Fundraising Idea This easy and charming craft is really a wonderful gift for any and all of the gobblers in your life. We have created a wonderful gift tag that you can easily download and attach to your mug to make this a special gift. The tag has an adorable picture and inside we have written a poem especially dedicated to Thanksgiving. This can be given as an inexpensive and fun favor for a Thanksgiving party, a gift for a favorite relative and friend and a wonderful Thanksgiving centerpiece. You'll want to make them for your kids. "Turkey Soup" is also a very good project to raise money (fund raising) for organizations like the scouts, churches and/or schools. Apple Ornaments This wonderful combination reveals a spicy holiday scent and provides a beautiful ornament for your Christmas tree. Pat was generous enough to provide us with this fabulously easy and fun craft. Pat says, "My son loved doing them. They turn out really nice, you can't make a mistake pouring glitter onto a glue shape and the kids feel very successful. And, of course, the smell is great."
