It’s almost Turkey time!! Thanksgiving is a day that I like to remember what I am grateful and thankful for every year and spend time with my family and friends. I know Thanksgiving can be a controversial event and honestly, I agree but will not get into that right now. As my kids get older out Thanksgiving celebrations are truly for recognition of all of the blessings we have.
For pretty much every other holiday, the kids like to take little treats to their friends at school. This year, I started thinking ahead. What treat would be fun but easy for the kids to hand out.
Turkey Treat Bags – I’m Stuffed
These little treat bags are so cute and really easy to recreate. I even made a free printable that you can use when you make your own.
Turkey Treat Bags
Materials Needed:
Red, Yellow and Orange Tissue Paper
Twine or String
Googly Eyes
Glue
Scissors
Autumn Candy Corn Mix
Yellow Card Stock
Free Printable Tag
Directions:
1. To make one turkey treat bag, cut each piece of tissue paper in half.
2. Lay the yellow piece of tissue paper out flat and place a handful of candy in the middle of the paper.
3. Bring the corners of the yellow tissue paper together and twist the ends together.
4. Lay an orange and red piece of tissue paper out flat, place the yellow tissue paper bundle in the middle of the tissue paper and bring the ends of the paper together, once again twisting the ends and creating a bundle.
5. Using a piece of twine or string, tie the bundle securely. Add the printable tag to the twine while doing this.
6. Glue 2 googly eyes to the bundle.
7. Cut beaks out of the yellow card stock and glue one beak to each turkey bundle.
8. Fluff the tissue paper out to look like turkey feathers. Hand out to classmates!
These turned out so cute and my kids are so excited to help me make enough for all of their friends before Thanksgiving Break. I went with a fall candy for this project but you could add any type of candy or treat to these cute little treat bags.
Do your kids plan on handing out any Thanksgiving or Fall treats to their classmates this year?

This is the cutest thing I've seen all morning! I love the cute DIY crafts, that are adorable as this! I am planning to make this with my son this weekend, thanks for sharing!
These are SO dang cute! I love doing a little holiday gift for my godkids and stepkids each holiday, and I may have to try these for Thanksgiving. So cute, and so simple/inexpensive to put together!
My kids usually do not pass out fall or Thanksgiving treats at school. But we do make a kids table for a family Thanksgiving, and these would be a good addition. They are super cute!
These are incredibly thoughtful and creative! The turkeys are cute and I think it’s a great treat for kids to pass out at school in their classrooms. This holiday gift idea would be a total hit.
OMG! These are seriously one of the cutest crafts I've ever seen, especially for the fall! I love that these are great for the kids' classes, but also for the kids in the family to have if you're hosting Thanksgiving! Great idea!
Oh my goodness, you come up with the cutest things! In fact, i think this is genius, haha. This will be so much fun to make together with kids. Thanks for sharing this idea. It helps!
Such a cute activity! I love the simplicity and the fact that my kids can do it, but of course we will end up with mutant turkeys with 4 eyes!
Those are super cute and festive for Thanksgiving!
