Thanksgiving Crafts

Party Frosting has a ton of cute turkey ideas for your Thanksgiving table, and her post reminded me of all the fun party ideas at Parents.com.

They have these cute felt turkey pops:

Using a plate or bowl, trace an 8-inch circle onto brown felt and cut it out. Fold the circle in half twice to find the center and snip a hole for the stick to go through. Stretch the felt around the sucker, securing it with a rubber band. Fluff and fan out the excess felt, then add crafts foam face pieces and googly eyes to complete the face.
This fun faux pinecone made from an egg carton:

ake an empty cardboard egg carton and cut the carton into 12 individual cups (an adult should do this step). Cut a "V" slit into each side of the cup using the "V" that is already part of the cup as a guide, and gently spread out the pieces like petals of a flower. Paint all the pieces brown, then layer and glue the pieces together. Wrap a rubber band around the bottom of the top piece to keep it closed, then insert a card between the "petals."

And this yarn cornucopia:

First make a mold by covering a 6-inch plastic foam cone with aluminum foil, crumpling excess foil at the tip to make a curved end. Then dip a 3-foot length of brown yarn into a bowl of white glue, removing excess glue between your fingertips, and wind the wet yarn around the cone. Continue wrapping lengths of glue-covered yarn around the cone until covered. Let the cone dry for a few days, then twist the cornucopia off the cone.
There are a lot of other cute holiday crafts at Parents.com and even more fun turkey projects over at Party Frosting.

Thanksgiving Finger Puppets

The kids table is always one of the funnest projects at Thanksgiving.  This year my kids won't have all of their cousins around, so I want to make it even more special than usual.  Plus, since there are only a couple of kids, it won't take as much time to make something fun for everyone.  I think I am going to make these turkey finger puppets from Frog Prince Paperie:


I think I might make some other cute felt finger puppets to go with them like these from CraftPad:


I also like this idea from Scholastic with the fingers for legs:



Doily Pumpkins

A Little Tipsy used some cute orange doilies from The Dollar Tree to make this doily pumpkin:


I checked mine and couldn't find the cute pumpkin shaped doilies, but with some orange paper and the same technique you use to cut paper snowflakes, you could still pull off this craft.  I think it would be a fun project to do in my daughters first grade class this fall.
