Thanksgiving Blessings Trail Mix
Our room mom did a fabulous job leading the "Thanksgiving Blessings Trail Mix" station!
Bugles: Shaped like a cornucopia or Horn of Plenty, a symbol of our nation's abundance.
Pretzels: Arms folded in prayer, a freedom sought by those who founded our country.
Candy corn: Sacrifices of the Pilgrims' first winter. Food was so scarce that settlers survived on just a few kernels of corn a day.
Nuts or seeds: Promise of a a future harvest, one we will reap only if seeds are planted and tended with diligence.
Dried fruits: Harvest gifts of our bountiful land.
M&Ms: Memories of those who came before us to guide us to a blessed future.
Homemade Butter
This energetic station was making homemade butter out of whipping cream!
Ingredients: Whipping cream
Directions: Pour whipping cream into small plastic container and shake, shake, shake! The cream will start to solidify into a butter ball. Salt to taste and serve with popcorn.
Cranberry Relish
These little cooks-in-the-making are blending up some homemade cranberry relish for their family's Thanksgiving Dinner.
Ingredients: Cranberries, mandarin oranges, and sugar
S'measies
We made "S'measies" at my station (easy s'mores). It is no coincidence that I had the yummiest station, ha ha!
Ingredients: Graham crackers (chocolate or honey), marshmallow fluff, and chocolate frosting
