on the crafty side

Do your kids get bored with a day off from school and it's too cold to play outside for long? Do they help with making Thanksgiving dinner? If not, what do they do to keep busy?

I found a few craft ideas that I wanted to try out on my kids this year. Then I thought I'd share them with you. I'll put a picture up, then put the link that will take you to the instructions.

Instructions for this Thankful Garland can be found here.

Pipe cleaner turkey.


Teepee centerpiece. My kids will go crazy for these.



For those little ones that can't do the crafts or those that just don't want to, here is a link to some coloring pages that might tempt them.

When you follow those links you'll find more crafts on that site. Have fun!

And you adults, let the kid inside of you out for a while. I fully intend to make my own craft. You do it, too!

Until next time...

Great ideas! I think my kids would enjoy making those and their older cousins would love to help.

Hi, Jen T.

We made a thankful garland this year, too. We tied the leaves to white lights and hung it over the window in the dining room. I can't take credit for the idea... it was Hopes. But it is beautiful. The kids did it while I was away. It is on Kaitlin or Brianna's blog if you want to check it out.

Love to all in Jen land!
