How To Make DIY Turkey Snack Bags
It’s easy to make these cute turkey snack bags for school parties or a fun kid-friendly treat for Thanksgiving.
- Sort the Goldfish Colors into piles by color. This makes it easy to fill each “feather.”
- Place a different color of Goldfish into each finger of the glove. Fill the thumb of the glove with the red Goldfish to act as the turkey’s wattle.
- Use a spoon to put the popcorn into the hand of the glove.
- Twist the end of the glove and tape it (or use a twist tie) securely at the back to keep everything in place.
- Print the template on cardstock and cut out the eyes and beaks.
- Twist the glove’s thumb downward and tape it so it stays in place. Tape the beak over the thumb and then place the eye right above the beak.
Fun Ways to Use These in Your Homeschool
- Use them as a Thanksgiving craft activity. Kids can enjoy it as a snack afterwards.
- Use them as decorations for your fall parties and table setups.
- Let kids practice sorting, learning colors, and counting while assembling putting the Goldfish into the glove as they make the Thanksgiving snack bags.

How far in advance can I make these?
They can be made a day ahead, but store them in an airtight container so the popcorn stays fresh.
Do I have to use the printable template?
No, you can always let the kids draw their own eyes and beaks for an extra creative touch.
