It's a week before Thanksgiving. I'm feeling a little crafty. We've done the Tree of Thanks with all the leaves. I am looking for new simple suggestions to do now and maybe the day of to occupy the children.

Pinecones, acorns, construction and other kinds of colored paper, crayons, glue, scissors, glitter, yarn....

Any cute ideas that work in the fall and harvesttime, turkeys, pilgrims, theme of thanks, family????

I'm all ears, I mean, eyes.

I was just catching up with the last few weeks of Crafty Crow last night. She has lots of Thanksgiving craft links - very cute stuff there.

Jenn, I went looking for the turkey apple craft my kids always did, and in the process found this page of crafts It has a turkey apple on it (scroll down a bit) but it's not as cute as the one my kids used to make (I found it in an older book at the library). They used to make it every Thanksgiving day, it was part of the table decorations.

If I can get the boys to remember how to do it, I'll post a picture. In the meantime, the site I linked has lots of ideas.

I was going to recommend the Crafty Crow, too. Tons of cute seasonal stuff right now. I thought this was really cute:

Leaf Turkey

Oh, thank you so much! I just needed to be pointed in the right direction. I have to remember to allow my son the fun of the very basic crafts. We opened up Crafty Crow and I let him be inspired...so we made turkey handprint cards. Lots of fun!

We made these saltdough turkeys this year from That Artist Woman. I just love her blog. They came out cute.

The kids took some craft fall leafs and boardered/glued them to a pin board. Then they cut ivory color paper and glued those to a larger size brown paper (matte style). They rubber stamped with fall/Thanksgiving stamps and will place them on the dinner table for our guest to write what they are thankful for this year. We will then pin them on our board to display.

Just for fun and for the kids this week...they did a simple hand turkey drawing then drew a story page around their turkeys. I had some very interesting turkey stories
