Thanksgiving Crafts!

I thought I would post some of the fun Thanksgiving crafts that have been going on around here. With Gracie in school, she makes lots of crafts so she LOVES making them at home too. We have had spent lots of evenings making crafts for the holiday. Our Christmas decorations may be up but we haven't made any Christmas crafts yet though. Just wait. Here are some things she has made at school. She knows about the Pilgrims and Indians and made this.
I did not keep this as there is food glued onto it.

Since I didn't work today, we spent the morning painting turkeys.
Gracie made this fall leaf at school. We can do the same thing with handprints for a Christmas wreath. She made this turkey at the babysitters. And this one at school. And even a teepee! She knows that Indians used to live in them. Here are just a few of the other crafts she has made too that she proudly displayed on our new art wall. In our little school in the basement, we made a thankful tree. On the leaves I wrote what Gracie told me she is thankful for. It took some prompting but she wrote "Mommy, Daddy, Evie, Presley, Hazel, Millie, Grandma, Grandpa, Amy, leaves, Grace Ann (her friend from school), toys, crafts, books, crayons, and counting. Today we painted toilet paper rolls brown and then traced our hands to make feathers. Gracie's are red, Presley's are yellow, and Evie's are orange. We glued on eyes and beaks. Gracie cut some of these things herself! Tomorrow, we will write on the feathers, everyone's names who will be at our Thanksgiving table. Gracie will get to pick where everyone sits. She is super excited about them. This is something totally cute that I found on Pinterest. It's our fall family tree! It's all 5 of our handprints (I'm loving the handprint crafts lately). Then I painted leaves and put our name on canvas. I have an idea to do one next week for Christmas where our hands will make a pinetree. Happy Thanksgiving!
