I’m a huge fan of not having a million messy projects all over the place. But, my kids really enjoy making holiday crafts, so sometimes I’ll just give them construction paper, pencils, scissors, and glue sticks, then let them get creative!
This year they made a simple Thanksgiving Handprint Turkey Craft to hang on the wall.
Supplies needed:
- Construction paper (suggested colors: brown, white, black, yellow, red, orange, green)
- Scissors
- Glue or tape
- Pencil (for tracing hands and feet)
- Hole punch (optional – for punching black circles for the eyes)

Great idea! I think that will go with what we are doing with Interior Decorating/Holiday Decorating that we are trying to do at home and on my blog. So far, I’ve got a Thankful Tree, which we started a year ago, but I didn’t think of another thrifty project. Thanks!
Yay, I’m glad this inspired you, Elizabeth!
