Because this craft includes candy, you’ll probably want to have more on hand than what’s called for in the project. Let’s face it. You and the kids are going to want to munch on the candy as you make the project.
These chocolate kiss turkey treats would be so cute used as place cards at the Thanksgiving table. The kids could write everyone’s names on the turkeys and place them on the dining table while dinner is cooking. This allows the kids to help out and feel included in the big day.

Directions
Cut 8 rectangles from the brown paper, approx. 2 ½ inches by 1 inch.
Cut 8 tiny triangle beaks from the orange felt, and 8 little wattles from the red felt. Just make sure you make them small enough to fit on the kisses.
On each Hershey kiss, glue on 2 googly eyes, a beak, and a wattle.
Fold each brown rectangle in half, crease it well, then open it back up.
On the back half of the rectangle, dab glue all over it. Press 4 little feathers in a row on the glue. Fold the paper back in half and press on it for about 10 seconds. Open it up so the feathers are facing up in the air, and the bottom half the brown paper is flat against the table.
Finally, glue the Hershey kiss turkey to the bottom half. The feathers should be standing up behind the kiss.
