Thanksgiving Turkey Table Centerpiece Craft

These past few days I've been searching the internet for a unique Thanksgiving craft the children and I can make that can be used to decorate the table. I'm familiar with the usual turkey crafts made from handprints and the like. I wanted something different!

Family Crafts has a great, inexpensive Turkey Table Topper Craft just for your Thanksgiving Table. This centerpiece is like a basket-it can hold your dinner rolls, or decorative pine cones, or whatever your imagination can come up with! This is a craft that you and your children can make together. After all, Thanksgiving is about family, and what a better way to involve your children, in preparing for the big event, than by allowing them to share their talents? Their helping you create a festive home can be a blessing to the guests who will visit on Thanksgiving!

The craft requires a paper grocery bag (save yours from your early Thanksgiving grocery shopping if you don't have one!), some paper plates, strips of colorful magazines, a large red or orange balloon, glue, stapler, and various embelishments you might have around the house. Visit Family Crafts for all the details!

Our family will be working on our Turkey Table centerpiece this week. As soon as it's finished, I'll post a picture here for you to see! If you'd like to share what your Thanksgiving table centerpiece will be, send me a link to the picture, and I'll be sure to post it here as well!
