{Don't forget about my $50 Tiny Prints Giveaway! Click HERE to enter}

How about a fun little craft to do with the kiddos in anticipation of Thanksgiving?

Simply gather some of these....

Mason Jar of Cupcake Liners

... plus some construction paper, a glue stick and some markers. Oh yeah, and the kids! :)

Step by step directions:

1 - Let the kiddos choose a cupcake liner.

2 - Have them fold the liner in half.

3 - Glue liner to the construction paper. (these are your feathers/body)

4 - Take a second cupcake liner (with a light bottom), have child cut bottom circle out and glue circle to folded liner. Draw face on glued-on circle.

4 - Decorate "feathers" with markers, if desired.

5 - Admire! :)

Of course you can get fancy and embellish with real feathers or whatever else, but we really enjoyed the simplicity of our turkeys. :)

Above you see the masterpiece created by my 4 year old. Love those turkeys! We just hung ours on display for everyone to enjoy, but they would make really cute placemats for Thanksgiving too.

Printable Thanksgiving Subway Art

If you've been floating around blogland at all lately, you know that SUBWAY ART is all the rage these days. I even had the luck to win a Halloween version of some last month from Jane of All Crafts (see my post HERE). I love it!!! I've been wanting to try and create some myself, but continue to be soooo bogged down at work that I just haven't had the time. :(

Well, yesterday, I came across this amazing gem and immediately fell in love. Check out this awesome Thanksgiving Subway Art...

It is a ~free~ printable! Simply head over HERE to get yours. {And be sure to check out the rest of her blog while you're there. She's got some great ideas and a few other printables too!! Squee!}
