Whether or not you consider yourself crafty, crafts are a great way to celebrate a season or holiday. They make nice decorations, terrific teaching tools, and great opportunities for some quality family time. Here are a list of crafts found from around the web, requiring minimal supplies, that can help you get started.
- Thankful Notebook
• Decorate the cover of a notebook with fabric and the words THANKFUL NOTEBOOK (get creative here).
• Date the first page of the book and have each member of your family (and guests)take turns on Thanksgiving using their own page in the notebook to write/draw what they are thankful for that year.
• Continue each year and you will have a notebook of thanks to add to and enjoy over the years. - Turkey Crayon Holder
• I love using the balloon as a waddle in this! - Paper Bag Accordian Books
• This idea is great for topics such as “Fall Favorites” or “What I am Thankful for”. - Turkey Day Pins
• These use a mini clothespin hot glued on the back instead of something sharp. - Turkey Pops
• A craft and a snack…what more could kids want? - Hand and Foot Print Turkeys
• Grab some red, yellow, orange and brown paint, and you will be all set. Or, if you don’t like paint, use colorful construction paper instead. - Paper Towel Fall Trees
• Instead of tissue paper for leaves, you could get a pack of thin paper leaves at a dollar or craft store. - Chocolate Scarecrow Nuggets
• Another craft/snack. - Pinecone Toms
- Turkey Nutholder
• We filled ours with M-Ms.
