Since last weekend was Canadian Thanksgiving, I helped my kids make some crafts!
I helped them put together these Thankful Turkeys (I used this idea from Meet the Dubiens).
They told me what they are thankful for & I wrote things on the "feathers". Then we used glue & tape to put them together. All you need is: construction paper, toilet paper tube, googly eyes, and glue/tape.
We had a lot of fun putting these together and it was a great way to sit down with my kids and talk about our blessings.
They also made the classic hand print turkeys! They mailed these to grandparents & family members who live far away.
