Cute Thanksgiving Turkey Treats

Make a batch of these fall desserts in just a little bit of time! The perfect kids’ table treat for Turkey Day.

Supplies Needed for Cute Thanksgiving Treats:

• Small, Natural Unbleached Coffee Filters
• Tootsie Roll Pops
• ⅛” Ribbon
• Googly Eyes
• Leaf-Shaped Tags
• Red & Orange Vinyl (or Colored Paper)
• Paper Glue

CRICUT USERS: If you plan on using your Cricut to cut out the turkey beaks, or waddles, you can find the Cricut Design Space file for both of those here. Otherwise, you can draw on and cut your beaks and waddles from red & orange construction paper instead.

How to Make These Adorable Thanksgiving Treats:

First, start by wrapping your coffee filter around the top of the lollipop.

Pinch the coffee filter on the loli stick right underneath the lollipop and secure this part with a ribbon. Tie the ribbon with a cute bow so that your turkey won’t fall apart.

Glue on your two googly eyes onto each turkey’s face.

Cut out the beak and waddles for your turkeys using either paper and scissors or by using your Cricut cutting machine.

Attach the beak and waddle with a dot of glue if needed.

To make the turkey’s feathers, take two leaf tags or cutouts and stack them on top of each other. Fan them out for fullness as needed, and secure them with a bead of glue between both leaves.

All that’s left to do is attach the feathers to this sweet little turkey. Place a bead of glue in the middle of the leaf feathers and press them onto the back of your turkey treat pop.

Now, you have some adorable turkey treats that are ready to be gobbled up!

They make a great classroom handout to celebrate the holiday or sweet little gift ideas for relatives who are visiting for Thanksgiving. So cute!

They’ll make a great addition to these easy-to-make Turkey Treat Buckets, too!

Frequently Asked Questions

What If I Don’t Have A Cricut Machine?

Don’t worry! Grab a bit of construction paper and sketch out a small triangle for the turkey’s beak and for the waddle – try drawing a thick ‘S’ shape.

I’m Having Trouble Tying My Ribbon Onto The Turkey…

if you’re having difficulty getting your ribbon tied on, use a small rubber band to help hold down the coffee filter before trying to tie the ribbon again. It works great!

I Don’t Have Leaf Tags, What Else Can I Use?

Consider using actual fallen leaves if you plan on making and displaying these on the same day. If not, trace small ovals onto construction paper to make your own leaf shapes. It’s easy to play with so feel free to get creative with it!

What Is The Best Way To Display These Treats?

If you have a piece of foam or cardboard available, poke a few holes in it to securely prop each turkey upright so they are easy for guests to grab.
