Turkey Treats!

I love Thanksgiving.  It is one of my top two favorite holidays (second only to Christmas), and I am determined to make it one of my daughter's as well! :D As part of our countdown to Thanksgiving, we are doing a few easy yet adorable little activities.  Today our special event involved turkey toes and thankfulness for the good friends that God has given us! 

I originally got the idea of "Turkey Toes" off of pinterest (sooo cute:  http://pinterest.com/search/?q=turkey+toes), but after Halloween, I could not find ANY candy corn at our local supermarkets!  Boo!  Inspired by the fall colors (and deliciousness) of Reese's Pieces, we made an off the cuff decision and changed our "Turkey Toes" to "Turkey Treats."

For this gift, you need the following:

Reese's Pieces (or candy corn), a scooping device, containers of some sort, ties of some sort, a whole punch, and decorative tags or paper.

First, have your adorable, and half-naked, child decorate some paper for the tags (because you don't have any cute paper on hand).

Then, give them a scoop and let them go to town filling up bags with yummy treats!  We used a measuring cup in an effort for equality among the bags, but let's be honest, the girl scooped them with her hands just as much as the cup.

Concentrating on the job at hand... (this is a good time to discuss more, less or the same by comparing amounts of candy in the bags).

When we were finished scooping, we tied off the bags with twine, and made little handprint turkeys with the following messages:  on the front--"Turkey Treats" and on the back--"Dear _____, I am thankful for you! Love, C"

I think they turned out super cute, and my little one is excited to give them out to friends!  What kind of activities are you doing to promote thankfulness?
