Turkey Time
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.

Sweets & Treats
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.

Scoop It Up
Fill the bowls with mini wooden scoops which are the perfect size for adding small candy and treats to the container and helping to control portion sizes.

Here Comes the Fun
Allow the kids (and any hungry adults) to scoop their favorites into the pint-sized container.

Shake It, Baby
Once the painted lids have fully dried, just add the lid and shake the container so the sweet and salty treats mix together.
