Here is another great craft project for Thanksgiving that can be used as a centerpiece on the big day. It will take a little time to prepare meaning that you should probably start this at the beginning of November. The craft itself is actually quite easy!
Go outside and find a small twig with a few branches still on it. In an empty, clean soup can, pour in plaster of Paris and stick the twig into the center. Let dry.
Cut several different leaf shapes out of construction paper. Punch a hole in the top of each one and pull a string through the hole. Every morning, have the child write something they are thankful for and then hang the leaf from the tree.
If your child is too young to write him or herself, let them scribble or at least attempt to write what they are thinking and then dictate to you what they were trying to convey. Then, you can write for them.
As we said, if you start this out at the beginning of November, by Thanksgiving Day, you’ll have a great table center piece for your Thanksgiving table
