Bugles - Represents the Horn of Plenty
Pretzels - Represents arms folded in thanks and prayer
Candy Corn - During the winter the Pilgrims were each allotted only 5 kernels of corn per day because food was so scarce
Dried or Candy Fruits - Thanksgiving is the celebration of the harvest
Peanuts or Sunflower Seeds - Represents the potential of a bounteous harvest for the next season if they are planted and well tended
Goldfish Crackers - Represents the teaching by the Native Americans to the Pilgrims that a fish planted with seeds would help grow healthy crops
I usually make a printout of this and tie it with a ribbon to the bag of the mix.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I just got this off of theideadoor.com
I was going to give it to the girl I go VT to. Cute idea.
That is a great poem and a fun idea to share during Thanksgiving.
