Thanksgiving Treats for Kids

Turkey and stuffing is right around the corner. 

To celebrate, we've rounded up some of this season's most 

creative treat ideas that your keiki will love to help make and eat. 

Woman's Day has whipped up pilgrim hats that are easily assembled with 

three ingredients (chocolate wafers, orange frosting, and peanut butter cups). 

Tonya Stabb has two Thankgiving cupcake winners that we are crazy about:
cupcake pilgrims (take the Woman's Day recipe above to a whole new level)
and cupcake turkeys.                                                                                                               

Plymouth Rock cookies add historical context.

Disney's FamilyFun gets creative with edible Indian corn

and a fun turkey-handprint pumpkin pie topper. 

We've saved the best for last.  

Aren't these Oreo turkeys from OurBestBites really too cute not to make?

We thought so. 

As always we're grateful for life and the opportunity
to work with such incredible families and sitters on a daily basis. 

Cute Halloween Costumes for Keiki

Halloween is right around the corner. Whether you're contemplating a DIY project or perusing Etsy, it's time to start making final costume decisions. Here are some cute ideas to get you inspired:

The stars align with Real Simple's DIY Saturn costume.

Keep it local style this year with an adorably simple diver idea.

Want more in the way of an island theme? Check out this DIY jellyfish.

For those following the candidates, this easy Honest Abe costume might be right up your alley.

Etsy is home to dozens of beautifully created costumes. 

Like, for example, this Tinkerbell-inspired, fairy tale tutu by KcBowtique. 

Hawaii designer, ElleIndustries (Etsy), makes a playful Moishe from Where the Wild Things Are. 

How much simpler (or cuter) does it get than this candy-corn tutu by SweetLilyTutus (Etsy)?

Finally, for the funky and adventurous, Lachiffonniere (Etsy) has designed a yarn wig.
