Did your kids just get out of school for Thanksgiving break and they are already glued in front of the TV? If you want to get your kids stimulated and hands on, get them active by participating in a few Thanksgiving arts and crafts. Grab your kids and art supplies and get creative. After completing your Thanksgiving crafts display them around the house for guests to admire.
Turkey Hands
Use markers to decorate white gloves with turkey feather designs. Glue on felt on the palm for the wings and an eye button on the thumb for the eye.
Place Cards
Gather paper, markers, crayons and other craft knick knacks and let your little one write the names on place cards to be set at the dinner table
Simple Snack
Combine snack time and crafts by spreading vanilla icing on a cracker and decorating with a chocolate kiss and candy corn in the design of a turkey.
Fan Leaves
Cut out leaves from colored construction paper and fan fold. Attach pipe cleaners and use them for decoration.
Wild Turkey
Head outdoors and allow your kids to gather items from nature to create a turkey.
Be sure to take pictures of your crafts and share them with us on our Real Kids Shades facebook page at facebook.com/RealKidsShades.
