Snack Ideas:

Turkey Toast: Use a large turkey shaped cookie cutter to cut out shape from wheat bread. Spread the whole shape with peanut butter, Use a raisin for and eye, a slice of a red gummy worm for the wattle, and fruit loops for the tail feathers. Tastes good, and kids love it! (warning, many children are allergic to peanut butter...check with parents first)

Oreo Turkeys
Oreo cookies
candy corn
malted milk balls
icing (not whipped)
Open one oreo and place one part, icing side up (eat the other half). Add a bit of icing as glue, and stand another Oreo up on it (this is your turkey body). Spread one side half of the standing oreo w/ icing, and attach 5-6 pieces of candy corn....fanned out like turkey feathers. Add a malted milk ball to the top of the other side, for head. An additional piece of candy corn can be used for a waddle (or a red m&m). Add candy pumpkins for effect....and create your own little turkey farm! (From childfun.com)
