"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year..." Well, in my opinion that song was written for the wrong holiday. Because I absolutely LOVE Thanksgiving. I know that as a craft blogger, I am supposed to be moving on to Christmas ideas (and I promise there are LOTS on the way) but I just wanted to get one more fun Fall craft in before moving on. So, please enjoy this Thanksgiving Turkey Kids' Craft. You will be happy that you took this time to create with your children.

As a craft blogger, it would almost be a sin not to make at least one turkey during the Thanksgiving holiday season. So, I hope that you enjoy this Thanksgiving Turkey Kids Craft. Once it is finished, here are a couple of ideas that you can do with it...
Make it into a refrigerator magnet Tape or glue a pipe cleaner (or ribbon) onto the back so that you can wrap around cups, bowls or other dishes on your thanksgiving table. Again with the pipe cleaner attached to the back...twist the pipe cleaner around a napkin to use as the napkin ringMake one for each person coming to Thanksgiving dinner and write the name on the bottom of the turkey. Then place each one at a place setting for a favor to take home at the end of the feast.
I would love to hear...
This Thanksgiving craft is for "kids" of all ages and is soooo simple. But even though it is somewhat basic, it can be something that you may truly cherish this holiday. You may even want to make creating this gratitude chain a holiday tradition. It really is the little things that make all the difference. Just think of your childhood...what stands out most? Is the first thing that comes to mind the big gestures or those little things that sometimes even go unnoticed? Take time this Thanksgiving to write down what you are grateful for and then sharing it in this creative way with the entire family.
I think that I speak for parents everywhere when I say that we are all thankful for our sweet little ones (whether they be 2 or 20). But kids tend not to hear that...
Yesterday we made some adorable smiling pilgrims, and then I thought to myself "Why are they so happy? Oh ya...pumpkin pie!" It is one of the best things about the Thanksgiving feast. I really don't know if it was part of the very first Thanksgiving, but it will be on our table this holiday, with LOTS of whipped cream on top. This craft is perfect for little ones because it is only a few steps and includes some simple, basic cutting. I hope you enjoy making this pumpkin pie kids' craft almost as much as you enjoy eating the real thing.
If you like this craft, you will also like all of the other fun projects that start with nothing more than a triangle from made from popsicle sticks. Check out the new book from "In the Bag Kids' Crafts". Learn more...
As we move through the fall season, there are so many opportunities to spend time with family...and so many chances to eat a ton a yummy comfort food. For me, it may be a tie between the family time and the good food that makes Thanksgiving so amazing! These pilgrim crafts for kids are a great way to get the children involved in preparing for having family over as they can be used for a decoration for your holiday feast. They will be so proud of what they have made and will love sharing their creations with your guests.
