These Thanksgiving Turkey Snack Bags are perfect for school parties, play dates, long holiday road trips, and most importantly the kids’ table on Turkey Day!
Do you travel for Thanksgiving or do you stay local? We are heading up North back to MN this year and I thought these cute treats would be fun to surprise the boys with these turkey snack bags along the way.
For Michael’s Halloween party we filled the gloves with just popcorn as “Spooky Hands” complete with a spider ring on the ring finger. One was laying the table in a way that resembled the shape of a turkey and I thought “duh!” How many cute turkey crafts have you seen where you use your child’s hand as a turkey! I knew I could make them in snack form also! The colored goldfish were just the ticket!

Supplies Needed for Turkey Snack Bags:

- Popcorn
- Colored Goldfish Crackers
- Red & Orange Felt (optional)

I just popped one of our favorite 100 calorie snack popcorn bags and when it was cool, I got to work on the turkey snack bags! I filled the four fingers with the colored goldfish. You could also separate colors but I didn’t have time for that! LOL! After that fill the palm and the thumb with popcorn! Tie the glove at the bottom! Voila!
I apparently did have enough time to cut a beak and gaggle out of some felt and glue them on along with a googly eye. In my house, EVERYTHING is better with googly eyes :).
There you have it! Cute little turkey snack bags that are both festive and functional! If you are looking for any other turkey projects, I can offer you my Turkey Napkin Rings and Turkey Place Card Holders! You can also find all my Thanksgiving and Fall projects if you are interested! You might want to make this awesome 3 Ingredient Pumpkin Dip or my Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake! Yum!
These turkey snack bags would be perfect on the kids’ table along with these Thanksgiving Coloring Books from Happiness is Homemade!
Another great activity is this fun Thanksgiving Color Themed Printable Coloring Book!
My Turkey Napkin Rings are also a fan favorite! You could even have all the supplies out and let the kids make some Turkey Magnets while the real turkey cooks!

Did you use regular Elmer’s glue? For the googly eyes & beak? Thanks
Cheryl Spangenberg says
Yes Maam! Nothing fancy, anything you have on hand will work!
Diana says
Did you glue the googly eyes and beak before or after filling them?
Tavette says
I made the Halloween hands YEARS ago – but leave it to you to see a turkey. Great idea. Love seeing new stuff and thanks to you – another wonderful, quick, easy, inexpensive treat to impress the kids. Thanks so much for posting.

I tried making these and the kids loved them, but… I can’t get the googly eye to stay on the glove. As soon as it dries it doesn’t take much for it to peel off :( I used Elmer’s glue, what worked with yours?
