With Thanksgiving fast approaching, it's time to prepare dinner and decorations. Thanksgiving is a great time with family sharing moments and creating new memories. So when you get ready for the holidays, why not try making this edible Apple Turkey? It is a great activity for you and the kids to share!

1 apple
1/4 cup Fruit Loops cereal (if using Fruit Loops you will need a few raisins for the neck) or 1/4 cup raisins (if using Fruit Loops you will need a few raisins for the neck)
6 -7 mini marshmallows
7 -11 toothpicks
1 green olives
2 cloves


Directions: Prep Time: 5 mins Total Time: 5 mins
To make the feathers: Take raisins or Fruit Loops and slide onto toothpicks about 3/4the way down. Place a mini-marshmallow on the end. You will need 6 or 7 "feathers" depending on the size of your apple.

Stick the "feathers" into the back of the apple.

To make the head: Slide raisins down toothpick and top with a green olive (head). Use cloves for eyes. If your olive has a pimiento you can pull it out the back of the olive and let it hang so that it looks like a turkey wattle.
