While dinner is being cooked in the kitchen and football is played on the television (or in the backyard), the children are in desperate need of something to distract their growling tummies from the aromas! Here are some Thanksgiving craft ideas to keep them entertained until the goodies are ready for the table.

-    Simple Leaf Wreath: cut out a 9” circle from poster board and then a 4 ¾” circle from within that one to create the wreath base. Staple string to the back to create a loop for hanging. Have the children cut out leaves from brown, red, orange, and yellow construction paper. Decorate each leaf with the veins and/or glitter and glue to the base for a beautiful fall wreath.
-    Gourd Centerpieces: the kids will enjoy creating something pretty for the dinner table, so have them paint gourds with fall colors and glitter.
-    Turkey Craft: this craft is the pinnacle of all Thanksgiving crafts and there are a variety of ways you can make one. Try turning a pinecone into a turkey with pipe cleaners shaped into wings, feathers for the fan tail, pom-poms for the face, and cutting construction paper pieces for the eyes, beak, and wattle. There’s also a cool turkey craft kit available for purchase that comes with everything you need to make a foam one.
-    Candy stick Puppets: The Martha Stewart website has an adorable craft, including the templates to print out, to make candy sticks into turkey and pilgrim puppets.

Hopefully these ideas will keep the children happy and out of the kitchen! Happy Thanksgiving Crafting!

With all of us together on Thanksgiving, the opportunity to play fun games is impossible to ignore. Not to mention that it will get you out of mom’s hair while she slaves in the kitchen over delectable goodies for the dinner table. So, pick some of your favorite ideas from the list below to get the party going:

The smaller crown might enjoy kiddie games like Hot Pumpkin (just like Hot Potato), Turkey-Turkey-Stuffing (instead of Duck-Duck-Goose), or Mother May I? Everyone would like a game of Beanbag Toss using a scooped out pumpkin as the goal.

The older participants can play some of my favorite traditional games like Bobbing for Apples, Horseshoes, or Tag Football. For a water-free variation of Bobbing for Apples, you can hang them from the ceiling with string. It’s quite amusing watching people stand on their tip-toes to grab an apple with their mouth!

There’s an awesome site that lets you print out games to play. So how about Thanksgiving Bingo using candy corn as your markers? Or a thrilling Turkey Trivia challenge! Thanksgiving was a day that my family also pulled out the infamous board games like Monopoly, Life, or Trivial Pursuit. Personally, I plan on us trying Apples to Apples this year.

Whichever Thanksgiving Party Games you choose to play, take pleasure in the closeness of family and friends, the joy of sharing and giving, and the laughter that ensues.
