pilgrim faces

This is an easy, quick, fun Thanksgiving activity!

Materials:
googly eyes
pom-poms
glitter glue
glue dots(if you want to make it really quick and easy) or glue


Print out the templates.  Let your child make a face on his or her pilgrim using materials provided.  They LOVE the google eyes and pom-poms.  You could also use markers,  crayons, paints or the medium of your choice.  We then made glitter mouths.  Once everything was dry, I taped their pilgrims to the wall....they have loved looking at them!

leafy art

I'm finally back to posting kid's projects. We've had a lot of fun doing Thanksgiving/Fall art lately!

Yesterday we enjoyed making leafy art. This is very messy.....We crunched up our leaves and decorated our paper out in the garage. That made the cleanup much easier. The kids LOVED doing this. This is an easy project you can do with all ages.

Materials needed:
Dried leaves
Bowl
Paper
Squeeze Glue

Directions:
Collect leaves and let completely dry if needed. Crumble up leaves over a bowl or container. Squirt a "glue design" on paper. Shake the dried leaves over the design (similar to shaking glitter). Shake off excess leaves and let dry.
