OUR THANKSGIVING CRAFTS

My kids and I with some our friends made some Thanksgiving crafts last week. Here is what we made:

 

 

Coffee Filter Turkeys

 Materials needed for craft:

coffee filter

template

washable markers

glue, scissors

crayons

 

I used the turkey head and feet from the template on Making Learning Fun.

 

 I printed off the template and had my kids color the turkey head and legs with crayons and then gave them the coffee filter which they colored with WASHABLE MARKERS (washable markers will be the only markers that will work) and then outside I gave them a spray bottle. They sprayed the coffee filter and then kept it outside so that it could dry. Once dried we glued it all together. Looks almost like a tie dye turkey! Even my 1 year old made one!

Handprint Mayflower

Materials needed for craft:

construction paper or cardstock

paint

scissors, glue

white paper

 

On blue construction paper the kids made a brown handprint (with fingers spaced apart), then they painted the sea underneath the handprint and clouds in the sky. Once all dried they cut out slanted squares for the Mayflower sails and glued them on the 3 middle fingers.

 

 

 

Mosaic Thankful Cross

 Materials needed for craft

Different colored cardstock

pencils, markers

scissors, glue

ribbon or yarn

hole puncher

 

I printed off a cross coloring page and then cut it out, traced it on cardstock and then cut out square and rectangle shapes as the mosaic pieces. The kids wrote and drew on each mosaic what they were thankful for and then glued them to the cross. Then we hung them on our glass sliding door.

 

 

Handprint Turkey With Feathers

 Materials needed for craft

black construction paper, colored paper for beak

white paint

feathers

googly eye

glue, paint brush

 

Have child place a white handprint on the paper with their fingers spaced apart and then have them paint the turkey's legs underneath the handprint. Once it dries glue the googly eye, feathers and peak.
