These delightful treats are not only easy to make but also a fun way to involve the whole family in preparing for the holiday. From turkey-shaped cookies to turkey-inspired pet treats, there are plenty of creative ideas to choose from.

• tulle {I found some 9″ round tulle circles at the dollar store which worked perfectly!}
• Reese’s Pieces or M&Ms in fall colors
• pipe cleaners {yellow, orange, brown, and red}
• google eyes
• glue {I used Quick Grip}
• small clear hair elastics {also much cheaper at the dollar store!}

INSTRUCTIONS

• Place your candies in the middle of the tulle circles and secure closed with the elastic bands. Leave enough excess tulle to form the “feathers” in the back.
• To form the head, cut the brown pipe cleaner to approximately 6 inches. Roll up the pipe cleaner leaving about 2 inches at the end.
• Cut a piece of the orange pipe cleaner to form the beak {just over 1 inch} and wrap it around the outer coil of the brown pipe cleaner.

• Cut a red piece of pipe cleaner for the wattle and glue google eyes on either side of the beak.
• For the feet, cut a yellow pipe cleaner to approximately 8 inches and fold the end into three toes. Check the video below if you’re having trouble with this step.

• Now you just have to stick the body parts into your tulle and your turkey is ready to go! Easy peasy!!
