Last Minute Thanksgiving Idea

I'm reposting this from last year - we just made our turkeys last night! You still have a couple of days to get yours done.
Last night, we made our Thankful Turkeys - and idea we got from a Family Fun magazine years ago. We've been making them for the past four years, my kids love making them and who doesn't love a big soft yummy cookie?

We use our favorite cookie recipe (ours is an oatmeal chocolate chip), and make them big - we use 1/4 c. per cookie. The we wrap them, sketch a turkey head and feathers. We write "I'm thankful you're my teacher." My kids can do most of this by themselves, at least I. can. We tape everything on and we give them to all teachers - we give them to nursery teachers, primary teachers, classroom teachers and even the dance group teachers (act surprised, Mel).


Just a little way to show our teachers that we notice them and appreciate them.

I love this idea - I'm so taking it and using it. Can I give them to my teachers? Maybe not. But it's so cute!

As a teacher, I would be so touched to get that. I'm thinking of doing a post about A+ holiday teacher gifts, if I do I'll link to this.
