Make a Thanksgiving Craft

For an easy way to get kids involved in Thanksgiving, let them do an art project that teaches about the holiday. As an added bonus, have the finished pieces play a starring role in Thanksgiving Day activities. Here are some ideas:

• Greeting cards expressing thankfulness to share with visiting relatives

• Simple table centerpieces made from paper turkeys or painted pumpkins

• Special costumes (pilgrims, Indians, even food) made especially for Thanksgiving Day
