Thanksgiving Turkey Treats What you need:

• candy - we used Reese's Pieces
• rubberband - we used small black rubberbands
• small wiggle eyes
• chocolate brown tulle circle - shop at SmartyHadAParty.com!
• pipecleaners
  • 1 brown: 7 3/4"
  • 2 yellow: 6"
  • 1 red: 2 1/4"
  • 1 orange: 1 1/4"
• glue - we used hot glue

Steps:

• To make the head, roll the brown pipecleaner into a spiral, leaving about an 1 1/2" unrolled.
• To make the beak, wrap the orange pipecleaner around the outer spiral of the brown pipecleaner.
• To make the wattle, fold red pipecleaner around the beak.
• Glue two wiggle eyes the front of the head.
• For the legs and feet, fold yellow pipecleaners into three toes and bend at the ankle.
• Fill tulle circle with candy, and fasten in the back with a rubberband. The fluff in the back forms the tail feathers.
• Stick legs into candy-filled tulle bag and add the head on top.

Smarty Party Tip: Make turkey treats into place cards by simply attaching a name to the leg of the turkey. Or turn into thank you favors by adding a tag that says "I'm thankful for you!" .
