Thanksgiving Crafts for Kids To Try
Make some cute placemats for your Thanksgiving dinner with either construction paper or poster board cut into rectangles. The poster board is recommended as it will be more durable. On a piece of red and orange construction paper, trace around your child's hands with their fingers slightly splayed out. Cut out a circle from brown construction paper and place it on top of the fingers. You then have the body of a turkey and turkey feathers. Glue the turkey to the placemat, draw on a face, and have your child write "Happy Thanksgiving" around the turkey. He or she can also add some color to the placemats and decorate it however they like.
To go along with your placemats, you can also have your child make place cards to show where your guests should sit at for Thanksgiving dinner. These are super easy Thanksgiving crafts for kids and can really make your table look festive - especially when you pair them with the home made placemats. Use construction paper or poster board and cut out rectangles that are about 5 in x 7 in. Fold them in half length ways and have your child write your guest's name on the front. You can find printable leaf cutouts on the Internet. Let them cut them out and glue to the place cards. They can use crayons or markers to decorate the cards as they desire.
These are only two of the Thanksgiving crafts for kids. See more on this website, or in our Thanksgiving crafts for kids ebook. There is no better way to bond with your child and spend time with them than by working on crafts together.
