Need a snack to tide the kids over until the big Thanksgiving feast? Here's a healthy option they can have fun making themselves.

Ingredients

• Apple
• Clementine or navel orange
• Pear
• Dried apricot

• Peanut butter or cream cheese
• Mini chocolate chips
• Nut (we used a cashew)
• Dried cranberry

Instructions

1. Arrange apple and clementine or navel orange slices on a plate as shown, and lay a cored pear half on top.

2. Use scissors to halve a dried apricot, then snip small triangles from each half and tuck them under the pear to form the feet.

3. Finally, use peanut butter or softened cream cheese to attach mini chocolate chip eyes, a nut beak, and a dried cranberry snood.
