One of my favorite
Usborne books is
365 Things to Make and Do. It takes cute crafts from all of our other Make and Do books and created a huge list of crafts to keep little ones busy and creative. There are crafts for princesses, monster lovers, little travelers, and gift givers. I love that no craft takes lots of supplies, usually some tape or glue, crayons, paper, and scissors are as complicated as it gets.
I wanted to do a craft with my little ones about Thanksgiving and decided to do a Thanksgiving Thankful Turkey. Here is what is will look like when done and there is a lot of room for variations. You can use felt for the body, add some real feathers, etc. The point though is to get the kids thinking about what they are thankful for and let them put that reminder on their doors so they see them when they wake up and when they go to sleep.
Here are the templates I created:
If you want you can also use foam door hangers or whatever, I like to keep these projects open to imagination!
Here is the Door Hanger Template
Here is the Turkey Template
(each makes 2 completed projects!!)
