Happy Thanksgiving! In case you're looking for an easy kitchen-table craft to keep the kiddos occupied before the big meal, here's one we've pulled from vault for you that will remind everyone to keep a grateful heart and a smiling face today!
Thankful Turkey
Supplies Needed:
-paper lunch bag
-construction paper in fall colors (red, yellow, orange, brown) or white paper and markers
-scissors
-pencil
-stapler (younger kiddos: use the stapler with adult supervision!)
Craft Steps:
1) Open up your paper bag, roll down the top a few times, and staple the opening shut.
2)
Cut out four or five feathers from construction paper. Have your child
write down simple things he or she is thankful for on these feathers
(i.e. Mom, Dad, pizza, my bike, my baby brother, etc.). Staple the
feathers to the back of the bag.
3) Draw a simple turkey head on the front of the bag. If you think you might need a little artistic help, check out these cute turkey head and feather printable patterns from Kaboose!
4)
Use your gorgeous gobbler as a handmade centerpiece or a coffee table
decoration. It might even start some conversations among the grownups
about all we have to be thankful for!
