Gum Drop Turkey
 

You will need: 1 apple, a pack of assorted colored gumdrops, one larger gum-drop, such as an orange slice gum-drop, toothpicks.
 

Lay apple down on the side where the stem is facing the child. Have child place one toothpick in the front top of the apple to be its head. Place 3 gum-drops onto the toothpick pushing the first one down to the apple and the other two stacked on top. Place the larger gum-drop on the end (the orange slice or whatever you have picked. This will be the turkey's neck and head. Next, place 4 (or more if they choose) toothpicks into the other end of the apple. These will be the feathers so you might want to put them at an angle to make room for more feathers. Add 4 or more gum-drops onto the toothpick feathers in alternating gum-drop colors. You now have a colorful and yummy turkey. These are great for table decorations for Thanksgiving dinner.
