I suggested pie as well, since as you said, you can do a lot, and although we have baked a lot, have never bothered to do a from scratch pie. Maybe I can do a pie, and she can help decorate it. |

We make turkey cookies. Michael’s has turkey stamps, and then you decorate the lines with icing.

| I saw on IG where someone did a hand print into a pumpkin pie and then used frosting to make it look like a preschool handprint turkey. It was cute! |
Don't frost a pumpkin pie. Don't force the decorating on things that don't work. Let the kid stick to decorating small cakes or a side dessert, and not mess with seasonal desserts. |
| Sometimes a pie crust has decorative shapes cut out on top, like fall leaves. Or practice a lattice crust on an apple pie. |
