With Halloween over, it’s time to start preparing for Thanksgiving. Bring on all the Turkey Crafts!
I’m constantly looking for ways to celebrate the holidays with my girls and have found that crafting and baking are avenues we all enjoy.
This year I collected (from around the web….thank you Pinterest) a BUNCH of Thanksgiving Crafts for us to do together.
I assembled both craft and treat ideas and thought I would share what I found! All ideas come with complete tutorials (click on the links) and many have free printables.

Turkey Pretzels
The few days before Thanksgiving, my kids are typically anxious and bored from being out of school for a few days. These turkey pretzels are a great activity to quell their boredom and get them excited for the holiday!
Plus it gets your children practicing being in the kitchen without making too much of a mess! My girls LOVE working with the melted chocolate and creating unique little turkeys for each of our Thanksgiving guests.
