fun food friday: tommy the turkey

With our Canadian Thanksgiving coming up this Monday, I made the kids a fun turkey lunch. Kirsten learned a cute song at school this week called tommy the turkey, so that's exactly what I named this little guy. I made a turkey fun food friday last year for Thanksgiving and used peppers for the feathers. Well, my kids don't like peppers and didn't eat any of them. They love apples, so I knew they would be a good choice for the feathers this year. Here's how I made this lunch:

Sandwich cut into circle shape. Icing eyes, carrot nose, and a red apple gobbly thingy. I used sliced green, yellow, and red apples for the feathers. Carrot legs.

3 mini silicone cups filled with craisins, cheese pumpkins, and rice crackers.

  7. That`s so clever, but simple. I may try one with peppers for my boys (they don`t really care for apple skins yet). Happy Thanksgiving to you!
