Thanksgiving decor to make with the family

As the holidays approach, it’s easy to get caught up in the chaos. Why not take time out for a little fun and get the kids in on the act as you prep for Thanksgiving? These adorable crafts will help encourage creativity and imagination—not to mention create lasting family memories. A pint-sized table and chair set from KidKraft is the perfect place to start. It can serve as crafting headquarters until Thanksgiving Day, when the little ones sit down to their own feast!

CANDY CORN TURKEYS

A cute candy corn turkey is a playful way to put some of that leftover Halloween candy to good use. The list of supplies you’ll need is short, and it’ll take no time at all to trace, color and glue your way to some festive Thanksgiving decor! Even younger kids can get in on the act with this super-simple craft.

PAPER PLATE TURKEY

No refrigerator door would be complete without at least one paper plate turkey. The googly eyes, seasonal colors and 3-D beak cutout are sure to make you smile even when you’re in the midst of preparing your own Thanksgiving turkey.

THANKFUL TURKEY BOX

We love this idea! Every day during the month of November, have everyone in your house write down something they’re thankful for and slip the paper into the Thankful Turkey Box. On Thanksgiving Day, while everyone is gathered around the dinner table, get all the papers out and read them as a family. It’s a great conversation starter, too!

After a long day of crafting, retire to the porch for some much-earned rest. Our two-slat rocking chairs provide the perfect respite. And keep all their crafts supplies handy and organized by storing them all in our sturdy toy caddy, perfect for toting from room to room.
