I've had this one on my to-do list for a long time... well, this year is the year (Kimi, get that Silhouette warmed up).
This Thanksgiving Tree would be a fun activity to do with the kids this week in preparation for Thanksgiving. Young ones can even draw pictures of what they're thankful for. You could even do it on turkey day while you wait for the food & need to keep the kids occupied. Fabulous idea from Skip to My Lou... a great way to count your blessings. And you get a darling centerpiece out of it :)
So I'm supposed to plan a craft activity for the kids to keep them occupied before Thanksgiving dinner, so I started searching my favorite blogs for an idea and check out this fabulous Thanksgiving Corn from Crafty Sisters...
Isn't that adorable? Plus, stringing the beads should keep them busy for a few minutes :)
Here's another cute idea to remind your family to be thankful this month... a Thankful Tree! Take turns writing things on the leaves that you are thankful for. Wouldn't this make a great Family Home Evening activity?? Thanks to Crystal's Craft Spot for this cute idea!
Last year, before the birth of our blog, Missy and I saw this idea for Thankful Countdown Jars from Sugardoodle. We made them, used them, and loved them. This year I was so excited to pull it out and do it again. Although we're already a few days into November, I promise this is a quick project (assuming you have a printer with ink) to whip up and start your countdown today.
A couple of the slips didn't really apply to my family (i.e. "Thankful for my sisters") so I made up a couple of replacements. You can download these extra thankful slips here. I also made a tag for my jar that I'm happy to share here.
I think cake pops are such a fun treat - and they make fun gifts, too! Aren't these turkey cake pops absolutely adorable? Well, if you've been intimidated to make cake pops before, never fear - Big Bear's Wife has a VIDEO tutorial on how to make these (I know, pretty cool)!! Click HERE to get the tutorial.
Anyone else think that Thanksgiving gets the shaft every year? I'm actually surprised it's November 3 and I haven't heard any Christmas music on the radio yet (secretly disappointed... shhhh).
Well, I love decorations that celebrate this much-overlooked holiday. And since I'm still unwinding from Halloween chaos, I was thrilled to find this FREE DOWNLOADABLE THANKSGIVING SUBWAY ART!!!!! Yup, you read that right. The extent of this crafting project is hitting the print button and putting it in a frame. Yeah!!
So let's get this puppy printed now so we can remember to give thanks all month long :) So happy I came across this new crafting blog - Bunch of Craft... thanks for the free decor!
So some of us around here still have to carve pumpkins, finish costumes, and come up with an activity to do at the class party (anyone else a procrastinator?). But for those of you all ready for Halloween, here's a great Thanksgiving craft to start... a Thankful Garland. Such a great idea - a super cute decoration and a daily reminder to count your blessings! Thanks to Tiffany Bird of Simply Modern Mom for posting this over at Marta Writes.
