Edible Thanksgiving Craft Ideas
There are some images which are common to the Thanksgiving holiday such as pilgrim hats, cornucopias and turkeys - to name a few.
You can use familiar images as a guide to make edible Thanksgiving craft ideas your children will love to make and eat.
With ingredients found in your home, your children can make these edible crafts and enjoy themselves while staying occupied out of your way.
These edible crafts can serve more of a purpose than simply keeping your children occupied while you’re preparing Thanksgiving dinner.
You can also use them to hold place cards for the table, as a treat to share with neighbors or as a means to teach very young children about Thanksgiving.
Look over these ideas and see which ones you think your children would enjoy doing.
Pilgrim’s Hat
The pilgrim’s hat is an icon of Thanksgiving which can be made with cookies, large marshmallows, jelly beans, melted chocolate and wax paper.
Since the chocolate has to be melted, an adult will want to help with this craft.
Put chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 second intervals, taking them out to stir.
If the chips aren’t melted, put the bowl in for another 30 seconds.
Once the chocolate is melted your child can carefully dip the tops of the cookies in the melted chocolate and place them on wax paper.
Dip the marshmallows into the chocolate and place them on top of the cookies.
Then add a jelly bean to the newly made pilgrim hat to indicate a buckle.
Once the chocolate has hardened, the hats can be moved to a serving plate and stored in the refrigerator to keep the children from eating all of them.
Thanksgiving Cupcakes
Cupcakes are a universal treat because they can be adorned in so many ways.
No matter what the holiday, you’re sure to come up with some way to decorate them.
Thanksgiving is no different.
If you can find candy or small toys which have a Thanksgiving theme, the work is half done for them.
Help your children make cupcakes following the instructions given.
Once the cupcakes are cooled, your children can then ice them with plenty of frosting.
Push the candy or toy into the frosting and you’re done!
Cornucopia
The cornucopia is another traditional Thanksgiving symbol.
Using sugar ice cream cones, frosting and fruit-shaped fruit snacks you’ll quickly have an edible cornucopia.
Place a small amount of frosting inside the ice cream cone. Then fill the cone with fruit snacks.
Lay the cone down on a small paper plate and let the fruit snacks spill out of this edible ‘horn of plenty.’
If these edible Thanksgiving craft ideas aren’t to your liking, you can find many more in books at the library or on the internet.
Look up ‘edible Thanksgiving crafts’ and you’ll find more ideas to choose from.
Of course, no matter what edible craft you choose to do, make sure you compliment your children on a job well done and enjoy at least one of the treats with them.
Making edible Thanksgiving crafts may become a favorite holiday tradition.
