7 Thanksgiving Crafts For Kids
Pine Cone Fairy Craft
My daughter made this fun pine cone fairy, which I think will be a lovely addition to our table centerpiece. I would give you instructions but since she figured this pine cone craft all out by herself, I bet you will too! (She used embroidery thread hair and construction paper wings.)

Thankful Turkey Jars
This thanksgiving craft- Thankful Turkeys- is really fun for kids and very meaningful as you each write something to be thankful for.
