Tuesday Kid's Talk: Recycled Thanksgiving Crafts


Kids are used to making the traditional hand print turkeys. Why not introduce your kids to some other easy to make Thanksgiving crafts? Not only are these Thanksgiving crafts simple to make, but they are also recycled craft projects. Click here to see a list of some recycled kids crafts for Thanksgiving. I love the one above. These acorn turkeys are so adorable. Who knew that acorns could be turned into a turkey? I am positive that these recycled projects will be enjoyed by your kids. These crafts are perfect to have them make, while Thanksgiving dinner is being prepared by the adults. To learn how to make the craft pictured above click, here.

Monday Funday: Fall Wreath
By: Candie Cooper

Hello, whoooo's there?!? How about letting this little owl greet visitors at the door for this Thanksgiving?



You will need: paint brushes, Red Folk Art paint, Green Apple Barrel Paint, foam wreath, silk leaves pack, Extreme Glitter in autumn colors, Mod Podge, wood letters and owl, thick glue or glue gun.



Paint the letters red and seal with a coat of Mod Podge. I put the letters on plastic so they don't stick to the paper when dry.




The dollar store is a great place to get packs of silk leaves. Paint a coat of Extreme glitter on each leaf. Don't worry, the glitter will dry clear and sparkly.



Paint the foam wreath with Apple Barrel paint. Apple Barrel is awesome because it's a thinner paint base so it runs into the pores of the foam.



Glue the leaves around the wreath, followed by owl and F A L L letters. If you use thick glue, you may want some pins to hold the leaves in place while they dry.



How sweet is that? You can find the owl and letters in the wood crafts and surfaces section of the craft store. Happy remaining days of Fall!
