This year’s Thanksgiving is sure to look a LOT different for us all; likely smaller, simpler, and quieter — but it doesn’t mean it will be any less fun!
These craft ideas celebrate everything the holiday brings: turkeys, pumpkins, cornucopias, and time to reflect on the many blessings in life. While your kiddos glue, cut, and bedazzle these fall-friendly crafts, encourage them to think about what they’re thankful for this year.
Your kids — no matter if they’re a toddler or old enough to tackle these crafts on their own — will find all of these crafts to be easy as pie (and adults will too)!
1. Paper Bag Turkey
If your kiddos struggle to sit still for more than five minutes, stick with this quick and easy craft. Parents can even prep all the paper cut-outs and feathers in advance to rule out any decision-making.
2. Apple Stamping Pumpkin Craft
Take a few leftover apples from your orchard haul and turn them into adorable pumpkin-shaped stamps. Then bring your pumpkin shapes to life with pipe cleaners and googly eyes.
3. Pom Pom Pumpkins
Since your pumpkin carving days aren’t for a few weeks, try your hand at these DIY yarn beauties that you can stick on your mantle for years to come.
4. Bedazzled Gourds
Make real or artificial gourds look centerpiece-worthy by embellishing them with rhinestones in different colors and sizes.
5. Pumpkin Pie Soap
Although this shea butter creation looks and smells as good as the edible version, it’ll leave a soapy aftertaste. In other words, don’t eat it LOL — just lather up with its pumpkin spice goodness.
What are you most thankful for this time of year?
Wishing you a safe weekend! Happy Thanksgiving!
