3 Thanksgiving Crafts the Family Can Enjoy

November 10, 2016 By Courtney

Thanksgiving is two weeks away. If you haven’t had a chance to do any holiday crafts with your family, not to fret. I’ve found three easy ideas that can be done in minutes and also double as festive decorations.

Gratitude Jar

Materials needed:
Mason Jar
Label that says “Give Thanks”
Strips of paper

All you need to do is print a label for your jar and fill it with your family’s responses as to what they’re thankful for.

It’s a great thing to do each day leading up to Thanksgiving. When Thanksgiving arrives, the family can gather and read everyone’s responses.

This activity is a nice way for children to find something each day they are thankful for.

Thanksgiving Mantle Banner

Materials needed:
Paper
Computer (optional)
Markers (optional)
School glue

You can either print out the letters you’d like your banner to say or you and your child can draw them out. Cut each letter out individually and glue to twine, ribbon or yarn.

I chose to make my letters on the computer, but you certainly can do either option. Both will look beautiful hanging on your mantle.

Paper Teepee

Materials needed:
Computer paper or construction paper
Glue stick
Tooth picks
Crayons or markers

Have your child make the design for their Teepee on a piece of computer or construction paper. Next, help them roll the paper in to a cone.

Use the glue stick to hold the cone together. You will need to trim the bottom of the cone so the base of the Teepee is straight and can stand up.

I talk about all of these crafts in more detail during a segment on The Rhode Show.

    I like your ideas. My daughters and I have made Thanksgiving banners and gratitude jars in past years, and they have been fun activities.
