Thanksgiving Ideas for Kids

Need something fun to do tomorrow with the kids? I came across the Little family Fun Blog and loved this idea of making Craft Stick Scarecrows. How simple and cute are these?

You could also trace those cute little hands and make garland with them, have each kid write or tell you what they are thankful for. I'm sure depending on ages you could get some pretty funny and cute things.

Ok, who doesn't think this is adorable? Just imagine kids running around wearing these, yelling "gobble gobble". If nothing else, its cute for a photo opportunity. Make one for everyone coming over and do a Thanksgiving photo. It's super simple to make. Go here for directions on how to make these

Do you like to make something that will always help you remember your tiny hands around the house? Super easy craft to do with any age, and something that can be held on to for years to remember those tiny turkey hands once they are grown up and refuse to take part in a silly craft.
For other ideas check out One Pretty Thing, you can go to categories and go to Kids Thanksgiving crafts. You can also search things and get results. One Pretty Thing is my go to site for crafts. They have everything you could imagine!!!

Video from Santa

This is a fun little thing that people like to do every year. You can make a Free Personalized Video from Santa for your kids, or for adults. Santa will say your name, (or my dear friend if the name isn't on the list) and even tell you if you have been naughty or nice. You can add pictures of the people he is talking about and answer some questions about the person the video is for. This comes out really cute, and something any child would love to recieve.

I just got done making mine for Neacel, I'm going to show it to him later tonight. Just something along the lines of "ummm Neacel, you have an email from the North Pole?" This will get his attention.

This is an adorable way to remind kids that Santa is watching you, and knows if they have been naughty or nice!!! It's all free and doesn't take long to put together!!
