Can you believe Thanksgiving is only a couple of days away? It really sneaked up on me this year. We squeezed in this fun pilgrim hat craft this morning and I wanted to share it quickly. It’s actually from this pilgrim hat craft that I designed years ago. We just re-made it this year and […]
Thankful Leaves Printable Craft
Thanksgiving is next week – can you believe it? I swear the time between Halloween and Thanksgiving always flies. I finally sat down and came up with a menu for our Thanksgiving dinner (er, Black Friday feast?) We spend Turkey Day with the in-laws, so I always cook a traditional dinner for us the next […]
Printable Thanksgiving Bookmarks
Hey y’all, here’s another fun Thanksgiving printable! My nine year-old is a huge reader. She is obsessed with books and loves when I make her bookmarks. These are Turkey Day themed and include the following: a handprint turkey bookmark, a “give thanks” bookmark, a “fall” bookmark with leaves, and one for your little one to […]
Egg Carton Turkey Craft
Thanksgiving is only a couple days away and we are just now making our first Thanksgiving craft of the year. That has to be a new (not great) record for us. This pregnancy is kicking my butt! But we did get around to making one, and it’s a cute one — Egg Carton Turkeys! Materials: […]
Easy Turkey Bookmark Craft
I have had this craft sitting on my desk for weeks now. Lorelai and I made some fun turkey bookmarks and I completely spaced on putting them up on the blog. The one I’m showing you is our favorite. This craft is so simple and perfect for little readers — like mine! She has been […]
Paper Bag Turkey Craft
Brown paper bag puppets are always fun to make. We have made quite a few, including an owl, eagle, puppy, and a giraffe. I thought this turkey puppet would be a fun Thanksgiving Craft to make, and I was right! Lorelai really enjoyed this one. She did almost all of the work. I just drew […]
Thanksgiving Crafts Round-Up
If you are in search of some engaging and fun Thanksgiving crafts, you can stop your search. We have some pretty cute Thanksgiving crafts that we have done in the past, and will be doing more this year. Here is a list of all of them — I will be updating this post as we […]
Turkey Learning Activties & Printables
Lorelai was so upset to miss school yesterday. We had some car trouble in the morning on the way to school and she wasn’t able to go. So I made a point to do some fun learning activities with her today. We went out on the patio since it’s so beautiful outside. She was chipper […]
Thankful Tree Craft
Being thankful is a year-round thing, but doing a thankful tree is usually reserved for Thanksgiving time. We have much to be thankful for in my family – a warm (or cool) home, my husband’s job, which allows me to stay home with Lorelai, family and friends, our health, and much, much more. I have […]
Pine Cone Turkey Craft
We are on a crafting kick this weekend – I’m loving it! Lorelai was walking around in circles this afternoon so I offered up another turkey craft and she jumped all over it. She scavenged this pine cone a few weekends ago and it has been sitting on our kitchen table since then. I decided […]
Turkey Suncatcher Craft with Printable
Lorelai was ready to craft today after taking a few days off. I thought up this craft while driving her to school the other day, and I just *knew* it would turn out cute… and it did! Suncatchers are such a fun, hands-on craft that I try to find an occasion to make one quite […]
Tissue Paper Turkey Craft
This is a fun and simple turkey craft that I totally came up with on the fly tonight. Lorelai spotted our new website header with the turkey and she immediately asked to do one. I didn’t feel like cutting out handprints and I already had the tissue paper cut out from our autumn tree (that’s […]
Printable Pilgrim Crafts
These are two of four new Thanksgiving printables coming up this week (maybe more!). Lorelai had fun painting and assembling these. The only thing I did was cut the pieces out, and she’s almost to the point where she’ll be able to start cutting them out herself. Eek! Print below ~ check out the new […]
Mayflower Printable Craft
I made this printable over a week ago, but we just got around to doing it this afternoon. Lorelai was excited about her “boat” craft and just plowed on through it. The story behind the craft wasn’t as thrilling to her. Maybe next year? LOL. Print below. Open Mayflower Printable Materials We Used: (2) Cardstock […]
Printable Turkey Craft
Open Turkey Body & Open Turkey Feathers I made this turkey template last night so that Lorelai would have something fun to do today. Mayo will be getting some overtime in today and won’t be home til later than usual. It didn’t take long to do this craft. I gave Lorelai the option of coloring […]
Pilgrim Hat Craft
It’s been over a week since I’ve done a craft with Lorelai. She was missing it today and actually asked first thing this morning to “make” something. I had this craft up in my noggin for a while, but I hadn’t gotten around to creating the hat yet. I sat down this morning and quickly […]
{ Plymouth Rock }
I think today’s “lesson” on settlers and the founding of America went straight over Lorelai’s head. I condensed it to tell her about Plymouth rock and how the first settler stepped out onto it in 1620. She looked at my like I was crazy. Note to self, a 3-year-old doesn’t give a hoot. LOL! She […]
Turkey Handprint Craft
Saw this craft here and decided to do it with Lore today. She’s been pretty restless today and had a lot of fun making a big mess with paint. The weather is so nice so we headed out onto the patio and let the colors fly. Oh, and we didn’t have any felt in those […]
Cornucopia Craft w/ Printables
Here’s a fun cornucopia craft. We did this today after I finished printing everything. The food & acorns were from fonts that I found online and the leaves were basic Photoshop shapes. The cornucopia was a whole other story. I searched online for a printable but couldn’t find one that would suit our purposes. So, […]
Turkey Craft
Last week when I went shopping for craft supplies, I picked up these mini popsicle sticks and circle cut-outs. I found a use for them today! Turkey crafts pretty much dominate the Thanksgiving craft category. Let me add another: Supplies: 10 mini popsicle sticks, 1 circle cut out, 1 cardboard/cardstock circle (trace with a soda […]
