Thanksgiving Crafts

Here are some Thanksgiving crafts we have done in the past years. I’ve included links to the original post if you want to see the step by step directions we used when we made each craft (just click on the name under the picture and it will take you to the directions).
Paper Bag Turkey
Nov
I don’t have any time right now to post new crafts, but I want to share a few of our favorites from last year in case you’re looking for some Thanksgiving crafts to do.
You’ll need: paper bag, google eyes, construction paper, glue, something to tie around the bag and newspaper.
Stuff half of the bag with crumpled up newspaper.
Twist the middle of the bag and tie something it around to hold it in place (I used brown ribbon). Then stuff the top of the bag with more crumpled up newspaper. Tape the top of the bag shut.
Add a face to your turkey.
Add some feathers.

The Mayflower
Nov
I saw this cute Mayflower craft over at Ramblings of a Crazy Woman. So after we read a book about Thanksgiving and talked about what the Mayflower was we made this project.
You’ll need: construction paper, craft sticks, glue and a brown crayon.
Color the boat.
Glue on the water.
Add the boat and the sails.

Name Practice With Turkey
Nov
This was a very easy project that is great for practicing letters and spelling names.
I cut out feathers for the turkey and wrote the letters in Hailey’s name on the feathers.
Once we were done practicing the letters and spelling her name, we glued the feathers on.
