Here are a few Thanksgiving crafts that we have done in years past.
These are all pretty simple and can be done with things you probably already have.
Here's our family of turkeys!!
What you need:
cardboard cereal box (or any kind of cardboard)
red, orange, yellow and brown paint
a paintbrush
googly eyes
brown pipe cleaners
Just paint the palm of your hand and your thumb brown,
then paint your other fingers with the red, orange and yellow
put your hand print on the cardboard,
cut it out, add the pipe cleaners for legs and the googly eye and you're all set.
