Thanksgiving Snacks for Kids

For many years my kids didn't exactly enjoy the Thanksgiving meal. In fact, the only thing they would eat was plain turkey and pumpkin pie. They never quite saw the big deal that went into the meal preparation. One of the ways I got my kids more involved in the Thanksgiving festivities was by including them in making some fun Thanksgiving Snacks for Kids. The following snack ideas are some of cutest ideas I have found, that kids will love to make and eat. These ideas also work well for a classroom Thanksgiving party. Once you make these adorable snacks, craft up a Handprint Turkey Place Card to decorate your Thanksgiving table.
