Saying a prayer around the turkey dinner at Thanksgiving may be a traditional task for those who are religious, but many don’t fully appreciate the idea behind the holiday. Sometimes, taking part in creating crafts related to the season can help bring forth the spirit of Thanksgiving on a higher level.
For youths, a very traditional Thanksgiving Day craft in which to participate is the handprint turkey. Have the child trace his or her hand on a sheet of paper, using the outline of the hand to create a drawing of a turkey. These can then be used as placemats at the “kids’ table”. Remember to encourage your child to be creative with his or her Thanksgiving “hand” turkey since, though this is a very traditional task, coloring and design can be quite original.
Another Thanksgiving themed craft upon which you might embark is a decorative fruit basket centerpiece. Arranging the fruit in the wicker container is only half the fun; actually decorating the piece can be quite intriguing and stimulating, giving you ideas for weaving faux leaves and branches through the basket or using foil to create a basis of color and shimmer to showcase the fruit.
By trying your hand at these Thanksgiving crafts and encouraging your children to do the same to partake in the celebration, you’re brightening your creativity and working up a true appreciation for the things we are provided, helping you to achieve a real feeling of thanks during the Thanksgiving season.
