Celebrate : Thanksgiving Crafts 2011


What to do while you wait and enjoy family on Thanksgiving?  One idea is  to have some fun crafts that the family can enjoy together.   I am going to post a few different ideas on fun ideas for Thanksgiving this week.  For me this is about getting everyone around a table, enjoying each other, laughing, helping, and then getting to talk about what makes this holiday unique.  Things like this break up the day and they are fun!  I got this idea a LONG time ago from my sister-in-law, Kim.  When we would come over to her house for a family holiday we would find a packet with each of our names on it.  It would be filled with fun little worksheets, trivia, crosswords etc.  I threw in a football trivia/prediction sheet in mine this year I will attach it as well!  It’s a fun and festive. 
Here is a bunch of printable ideas if you decided to make a activity packet this year.  If you find any other cool links please share them with us and add them to the comments!  I haven’t stapled my packets yet!
Here is a gorgeous gobbler.  You can just follow this link to a turkey coloring page and print it out.

We let the kids decorate them with anything they wanted.  My son choose a Turkey hidden in Gems.  He wanted to disguise his turkey.  Some of the kids wanted their gorgeous gobblers to look like super heroes.  You can use whatever supplies you have in the house.  Noodles, beans, cheerios, feathers, gems, paper scraps, anything!  Have fun!
