Thanksgiving time is here and there are lessons to be
learned! Chances are your kids know
about the Turkey, football, and all the family gathering round to eat way too
much food, but do they know why you’re having all that? Why not have them do a fun craft and talk
about it! The best part is this craft
can either be a decoration, snack holder, or dress up hat!
Let’s get started!
You need:
Paper plates
Plastic cups
Hot glue
Black paint
Yellow paint
Glue
Construction paper (white or instead of the yellow paint use
yellow paper)
Rubber band (optional)
Hot glue (optional)
Start by having the kids paint the cup and plate black
unless you’re using a black cup and plate from a Halloween party. Next, cut the construction paper so you have
one strip and one square. Have them
paint the construction paper strip and square yellow unless you’re using yellow
construction paper). Cut out the middle
of your square. Allow everything to dry.
Once dry; glue the cup to the center of the plate. (If you are using as a snack holder or dress
up hat use hot glue) Glue yellow strip to the cup where the cup meets the
plate. Glue the yellow square onto the
yellow strip. Allow to dry!
If you are using this as a decoration you are done!
If not and you are using as a hat cut out the center of the
plate inside the cup. Poke a hole on the
cut and the plate on one side. Do the
same directly across from your holes on the other side. Cut a rubber band and thread through the
holes on one side and tie (you can also use string or left over fabric). Measure on your child’s head for length and
then tie on the other side. Viola a
pilgrim hat for your little pilgrim!
If you are using as a snack holder than cut out the center
of the plate inside the cup! Fill with
your favorite snack and you will have them eating out of your hat!
