Web Wednesday: A Thanksgiving Game from The Idea Room

Recently one of our favorite craft
blogs, The Idea Room posted this adorable Thanksgiving game craft. A craft
project and game for kids all in one, how cool is that? This genius kids craft project was created using a variety of new paints from the Martha Stewart Craft Line. Here is how the game is
played according to The Idea Room, "The premise of the game is fairly
simple. Simple enough that even the youngest kids can play. Each
player takes a turkey card and gets 6 clothes pins or…Turkey Feathers. Each player takes turns rolling once dice. Then you simply put a
feather on the number that you rolled. If you roll a number you already
have a feather on, then your turn is over. First person to get all the
feathers on their turkey wins." In order to play this game with your
little ones, you will need to create the turkey cards that they need, along with decorating the clothes pins. To learn
how to make this project click here.
