Set Up a Thanksgiving Snack Mix Station for Kids

Keep the smallest holiday guests occupied while you finish Thanksgiving dinner with a snack station where they can concoct their own sweet-and-salty mix.

Download and print this handy sign then pop it into a standard 5x7 photo frame to display at your station along with a stack of pint-sized to-go containers and lids.

Set up a nearby area where the kids can decorate the lids using our thumbprint turkey tutorial. Be sure they add their name so they'll know which container is theirs.

Fill small bowls with candy, pretzels, popcorn and any other items that would be yummy in the mix. Use a tiered tray for pretty presentation and to make it easier for several kids to fill their favor cups at once. Tip: Try to stick with treats that come in fall colors.
