This paper cup turkey craft is an easy Thanksgiving craft for kids and cute enough to use as a decoration on your Thanksgiving table or your mantle. This is kind of a messy craft (what else would kids want?) so make sure your work area is covered with something and that your kids have on clothes that you don’t mind them getting paint on.
Yes, the highlights of Thanksgiving Day are the watching the parade (and the game) and eating turkey. But this special holiday isn’t just about the entertainment and the food. This year, start a new tradition that brings out the importance and symbolism of the holiday.
Begin by asking yourself what Thanksgiving means to you. Is it about faith? Family? Giving back to the community? Incorporate these ideals into your new tradition in a fun, creative way. Ask your nanny for advice — she can help you brainstorm new Thanksgiving customs.
And the concept of Thanksgiving isn’t always easy for little ones to grasp, so involve your kids and give them a taste of what Thanksgiving is really about.
