Thanksgiving is coming up quicker than ever this year, but there’s still time this weekend and next week to do some fun, seasonal crafts with the kidos. Here are some of my favorites, created by some fantastic bloggers.
Pine Cone Turkey
These hilarious little things are fun, easy, and a delight to make. Park them in windowsills, on mantels, and at the kids’ table on Thanksgiving.

Leaf Garland
This one is my favorite. Have everyone write something they are thankful for on a leaf. Hang in a doorway, window or from a chandelier.

Nature Sculptures
With the magic of Sculpey, this is a super-easy natural craft for pretty much every age. Perfect for a post-Thanksgiving meal stroll in the woods.

Turkey Pancake
Not exactly a craft, or rather an edible one! What kid can resist this kind of seasonal breakfast art?

Felt Napkin Rings
This could be an annual project, adding new colors and variations each year. By the time the kidos are grown, there’s a banquet’s worth!

Place Cards
Letter-shaped noodles make great placecard materials, and Eden Organic Vegetable Alphabets noodles come in perfectly autumnal colors.

Anisa,
Thanks for posting these. My boys love when I make pancakes into different shapes. Now I know what I’ll make this Sunday morning.
The garland is also a great idea. I might try the same idea with snowflakes, too. Seasonal thankful garland.
