Thanksgiving is such a wonderful holiday to get your kids excited about—there’s gratitude for food, family, and our freedom in America. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of preparing a big meal or stressing about spending time with your crazy wonderful family, but it’s also important to take moments to see the bigger picture. I am lecturing myself now really.
Taking some time to focus on a fun task that maybe also involves chocolate or the word “pie” can be a great decompression for you, quality bonding for your kid, and an opening to talk about giving thanks and your family. Here are a few fun edible ways to get in the kitchen with your kids:
Candy pretzel turkey bites from Suburban Simplicity
Nutter butter turkey cookies from I Heart Naptime
Turkey veggie tray and dip from Eating Richly
Turkey-shaped challah from The Nosher
Mini pumpkin pie pops from One Little Project
Pilgrim hat cookies from Handmade in the Heartland
Apple Pie Pops from The Nosher
