If you are like me, there are plenty of people, some little and some big, that always seem to NEED (want) your attention right when you are in the middle of something.
So, I have found some really neat ideas that I want to share. I am going to present some different ones until Thanksgiving that I am going to have my two year old attempt. I believe during the holiday season, all kids, young and old, will find even the most elementary crafts fun. There is just something about the joy holidays gush into our spirits.
As always: please use your knowledge of your kids age appropriate abilities to decide safety. IE: parent cuts out and helps glue. I also want to say that my kiddos are in the room with me when doing anything crafty. It cuts down on the crayon eating, drawing on walls, throwing on floors and whatever random mayhem may come into the mind. I also like to offer my assistance to cut frustration off quickly. I ask her if Mommy can help. If she wants, I help by guiding her so that she learns. I LOVE teachable moments :-)!
So, here goes. Thanksgiving Activity #1: Hand-Turkey Paper Dolls.
How creative someone at Parents online website was to come up with this idea. It's easy as pie. Just click on the green link above, download and print out as many outfits as you want to make, cut and color. Trace hands and cut them out, too. And... wahlaa, your very own Hand-Turkey Paper Dolls.
