Thanksgiving dinner might be the main event for the adults, but let’s be honest — the kids are usually more excited about dessert. I’m sharing some of my favorite Thanksgiving treats for kids, from cute turkey-shaped snacks to easy no-bake desserts that don’t require much more than a few simple ingredients and a little patience. They’re perfect for a classroom party, a fun activity to do together before dinner, or just something sweet to end the day on. Most of these Thanksgiving desserts are simple enough for kids to help make themselves, which honestly might be the best part.
Mini Turkey Pies
These mini turkey pies are one of those desserts that looks way more impressive than the effort it actually takes. Mini pie crusts get filled with chocolate pudding (pudding cups make it even easier), then decorated to look like little turkeys with candy corn feathers and a few chocolate details for the face. No baking required, and it’s a fun one to let kids help decorate themselves.
No-Bake Apple Pie In A Cup
Make the easiest fall recipe for kids with this apple pie in a cup! Made with graham crackers, apple pie filling, cinnamon, and topped with whipped cream, it is the easiest apple pie recipe you’ll ever make!
Turkey Oreos
Every Thanksgiving I like to have one project that feels just for the kids, something playful and easy that gives them a chance to be creative. Turkey Oreos are one of my go-tos. They don’t require any baking, they come together quickly, and the end result is always adorable. Basically, you take a regular Oreo and dress it up with candy corn feathers, candy eyes, and a little orange candy beak until it looks like a silly little turkey.
Thanksgiving Books For Kids
Graham Cracker Turkeys
Thanksgiving is about so much more than turkey on the table. It’s about stories, laughter, and treats that create memories. And when it comes to making holiday snacks, sometimes the simplest ideas steal the show. A Graham Cracker Turkey crafted from graham crackers, Nutella, candy corn, and candy eyes is one of those snacks. It’s playful and colorful, and so easy that kids can even build their own little turkeys.
Turkey Cinnamon Rolls
Turkey cinnamon rolls bring a little fun (and bacon) to the start of the holiday. These adorable, edible turkeys are the ultimate Thanksgiving breakfast for kids. They’re cute, delicious, and surprisingly easy to pull off.
No-Bake Pumpkin Pie In A Cup
Pumpkin pie just got a kid-friendly makeover. With no hot ovens for baking, no sharp knives for slicing, just sweet, scoopable fun in a cup, this could be the new #1 fall treat for kids. This no-bake pumpkin pie in a cup recipe has all the cozy, spiced deliciousness of a traditional pumpkin pie, minus the baking, fuss, and dishes.
Root Beer Turkey
When it comes to Thanksgiving, the spotlight is usually on the turkey, the pie, and the stretchy pants. But what if the drinks got their own moment to shine? Especially drinks that are cute, kid-approved, and fizzy to boot? Enter the Turkey Root Beer Drink, a playful, craft-meets-refreshment idea that’s a perfect Thanksgiving drink for kids.
Oatmeal Creme Pie Turkey
These Oatmeal Creme Pie Turkeys are the ultimate mashup of sweet treat and silly craft, and they’re almost too cute to eat. (Almost). With just a few snips of construction paper and a smear of glue, tasty snack cakes magically transform into fun little turkeys.
