I was thinking these might be cute at each place setting with sayings on the turkey about why they are “thankful” for that person sitting in that place. Or your guests can also write what they are thankful for.

Wouldn’t they be a fun addition?  Family and friends will also love the candy inside as an extra treat!

Here is what you will need:

• 4 oz mason jars 
• Red candy of choice (we used swedish fish)
• Glue. This can be tacky glue, glue dots or a glue gun.  (Adult supervision is best when using a glue gun)
  
• Googley eyes
• Colored Construction paper in yellow, orange, red and brown
  

Instructions:

Fill mason jar with your red candy. 

Cut out four feathers about 4 inches in length.

Cut out a triangle about one inch in length

Write the things that you are thankful for on the feathers.

Glue the googley eyes and the beak on to the from of the mason jar.

Glue the feathers on to the back of the jar.

Now these Mason Jar Turkey Favors are ready for the table! 

I know my grand kids will be so excited to have their creations on the table this year.  I for one am so thankful for THEM!!
