Here Are A Few Ideas For Your Thanksgiving Snack Mix And What They Represent From The First Thanksgiving: Malt Balls: The New World they wanted to go to for freedom of religion Mini pretzels: Praying hands Oyster crackers: The dry bread and crackers they ate on the Mayflower Stick pretzels: Logs used to build homes Mini marshmallows: Snow the first winter Candy corn and goldfish: How Squanto helped the pilgrims learn how to plant corn by putting fish in with the seeds Teddy grahams: The wild animals they had to deal with in the New World Raisins or craisins: Squanto taught them how to find wild berries and dry them for winter Peanuts or sunflower seeds: Seeds for harvest for the next year Bugles corn snacks: Horn of plenty for the harvest

Fill each bag with your snacks and attach a name tag. Use as a placeholder at Thanksgiving or hand out as a favor. If you don’t have time to make individual favor bags, put each item in a separate bowl and let everyone make their own Mayflower Munch! Or, mix all the snacks together in a giant bowl for a pre-Thanksgiving dinner snack mix!

Below are labels you can cut out and tie or staple onto each persons finished bag. I Hope You Enjoy This Simple Way To Learn About The First Thanksgiving!
