     I caught the tail end of this craft idea on a morning TV news show here in Phoenix and I thought it would be easy enough to make quickly to put on the kid's table or to even let the kids make themselves, with supervision since it requires a glue gun.  

Here are the main supplies needed: Tootsie Pops, (Dum Dums are too small.) Fall leaves and Hershey Kisses. A glue gun and some red paper to make the waddle. I also used a hole punch to make eyes, and a sharpie to make the pupils.

If you need fall leaves, you can go here. If you need Tootsie Pops, you can go here. Sharpies? Go here.

You simply glue gun the fall foliage onto the backside of the Tootsie Pop and on the front glue on a Kiss. I made sure that the little tag was underneath the chin of the turkey. Then, from some red cardstock or construction paper cut out a tear drop shape and glue it to the paper tag of the kiss.

I used a round hole punch to punch out some blue paper to make eyes on the top of the Kiss.  I drew on pupils with the Sharpie. I just drew the waddle free hand on the red paper, so they are all slightly different.  

     These little turkeys would make super cute place holders!  Just write on the back feathers, (leaves) with a sharpie.  Here is my  granddaughters: 

I just think the kids will get a kick out of these little cuties!
