Thanksgiving Craft
This is a great craft that is easy enough for 2-3 year olds to do!
Supplies:
Chinet® paper plates – these really do work best
Green paint
construction paper in the following colors
red
yellow
orange
glue
marker or pen
yarn or ribbon
Cut the center out of the paper plates, leaving about 3 inches of the edge. Punch a hole in the top about 1/2 inch from the edge. Paint the bottom of the plate with the green paint and allow it to dry.
Cut some assorted leaf shapes from the construction paper.
Choosing some of the larger leaves, write things you and your kids are thankful for (i.e. mom & dad, brother or sister, sports, music, etc).
When the plate is dry, glue the leaves onto the green side in little clusters, putting the leaves with your thanks on top.
String the ribbon or raffia through the little hole as a bow.
If you want to hang it up with ribbon, punch another hole towards the top.
Ari’s wreath is a couple of years or so old, it started out with LOTS more leaves! This craft is fun because you get to hear things that your kids are thankful for that just might surprise you!
