Thanksgiving Day Crafts

The Smart Moms family fun site is coming along great. It is still a work in progress, but we are progressing.

We have some great crafts for thanksgiving, including crafts for toddlers, preschoolers, school aged children, and just for moms.

Crafts are a great idea to keep the little ones busy during the long wait for dinner. I am going to make grocery bag Indian costumes with my preschool son and niece and nephew. Not so politically correct, I know, but it is what Thanksgiving is about. My son was a pilgrim at school, so now we have to have the other side.

To make the vest, cut down one long side of the bag to make the opening and a circle on the bottom fold for the head. Cut out arm holes and decorate. Simple, quick, and disposable.

You can also make great pasta necklaces. Using rubbing alcohol and food coloring- die the pasta, let dry, and string it up. Ziti works great. Pour enough alcohol into a glass bowl to cover the pasta, add a few drops of food coloring, and let it site until it gets to be the color you want. Easy and simple.

Have a great Thanksgiving with your preschoolers!
