This is a fun classic craft, perfect for Thanksgiving Day. These Turkey Apples can be “gobbled” up as a snack while they wait for the turkey to be done or saved as part of Thanksgiving dinner.
Supplies for Turkey Apples:
- whole apples, any color, washed and dried
- toothpicks
- stick pretzels
- marshmallows
- raisins, craisins
- popcorn
Set out your supplies. Use your toothpicks to attach some of them together in a line. Then press them into the back part of the apple. We also tried to make some turkey faces. I used chocolate kisses for one and a craisin on a toothpick for another, making the waddle. You could use a grape or olive too.
Now these turkeys are ready for Gobbling!! Have fun with Turkey Dinner!

Super cute. Laurel will totally love this project! Will try it this weekend! -Christine
My Mom let us make these YEARS ago for my 1st friend birthday party (I was 6 yrs. old), since my b-day is always around Thanksgiving (this year it’s ON Thanksgiving). The main thing she did differently was used a caramel apple to start with, which we all thought was delicious! My son’s 6th birthday is on the 30th and I just told him he could have all his little kindergarten buddies for a party this year…we may have to do this for them! Thanks for bringing back fond memories for me, Marie!
Such a cute idea. Totally doing this over the holiday. Thanks!
You know what I love the most about these, besides the fact that they’re adorable? Healthy snacks. HEALTHY.
Too cute… and delicious looking!
I’m making something similar w/ my preschoolers for Thanksgiving, using a potato (for the brown color, obviously not to eat like this one)…you can use golf tees for legs so it stands up! They would make great table decorations at T-giving :)
Oh these are fun. What a cute idea to set at each place for Thanksgiving.
Very cool! I’ve never cored a turkey before so this will be a first for me. Love the idea and I’m sure our 8-year old will love it as well. I like the idea as placeholders too even though I’m going to be all alone this Thanksgiving. Sigh.
These are really cute. We do a large fruit turkey every year (Family Fun), but I am going to do this for my daughters school fall party.
These are so cute!

These are really cute. I think we are going to make them with a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Theme complete with jelly beans, popcorn and pretzels.
Thanks for this fun idea! We just did it with my son’s preschool class and they had a blast.
These are fantastic. I totally want to make them for the kids for Thanksgiving.
I absolutely love these! I have been looking for a Thanksgiving craft that works with my 1 1/2 year old. If not making them, I’m sure he’ll love eating these turkeys!
Very good!
parecem ser deliciosos!
