Thanksgiving Turkey Treat Bags

Big Brother wanted to make something to take to school and share with his classmates for Thanksgiving. I just wanted to make something that wasn't messy. After the Halloween party a few weeks ago, I know what 21 1st graders can do with cupcakes and cookies and didn't want to put his teacher through that mess again so soon. So we came up with a turkey treat bag that we filled with goodies to share with his friends. The turkeys were so quick to make and will be an easy treat to hand out at the end of the school day.

Just start with a brown paper lunch bag.
I started by folding the bag over on the crease and cutting off the top portion so the turkey wouldn't be too big.
I then folded over the open top of the bag about 1/2 inch in order to staple the feathers on later.
Big Brother carefully decorated turkey faces using his markers by drawing eyes, beak and waddle on each bag.
He also helped fill each bag with a package of cookies and a few mini Hershey bars. I used my paper cutter to cut strips of construction paper to use as feathers. We simply folded the paper strips in half and stapled them to the back of the bag.
Big Brother personalized them by writing each of his classmate's names on their turkey. He had so much fun and is so proud of his creation. He can't wait to take them to school in the morning!
