Thanksgiving is a time for us to pause our hectic work schedules and go home to family and friends. If you're looking for ways to keep the kids occupied while your meal cooks, snag glue, scissors, construction paper, wiggle eyes and string from your office supplies before you head home to make these adorable creations!
Paper Plate Pilgrims
A lesson in history. Retell the Thanksgiving story through crafts! As we spend so much time making turkeys, it will be a welcomed sight to see some pilgrims on the table.
Turkey Juice Boxes
Make food part of the fun! If you construct one Turkey Juice Box, it's only a matter of time before the kids want to try. It also catches spills and sticky fingers.
Paper Leaf Garlands
For the older children, give them a picture of the garland and then let them figure out the rest. Sometimes, the challenge is what is what inspires! The final creations can adorn doorways and arches.
Turkey Puppets
If the idea of glue is too much in the hands of your kids (we understand), try double sided tape instead to make turkey puppets.
TP Turkeys
It's easy to be green when you can recycle empty toilet paper rolls and create some much needed holiday fun.
