Turkey is the official bird of Thanksgiving for many people.
Turkey is the main dish at Thanksgiving for millions of people each year. Hanging decorations to honor that tradition is just as popular in homes every holiday season. How to decorate your house is a personal decision, filled with a limitless supply of ideas, crafts and tips to make it as festive as possible. Showcase your favorites to invite guests in with warmth, friendship, family togetherness, love and thankfulness.
Instructions
1. Have your child put his hand on a piece of construction paper, trace around it and let him color it in as a Turkey, listing something that he is thankful for in each feather. Do this for each family member and tape them to the front entrance door.
2. Buy a plaster of paris kit to capture each person's hand-print. Paint it up like the bird of Thanksgiving, attach picture hanging hooks to the back and hang them up on the kitchen wall.
3. Glue turkey feathers in a design on a piece of paper. Write quotes in between them about what you are thankful for and frame it in a picture frame before hanging it on the wall.
4. Draw a cartoon version of a turkey, with a funny or thoughtful quote, and cut it out. Attach it to a magnet and hang it on the refrigerator.
5. Laminate a few different art projects to hang on the dining room wall. These turkey decorations can be taken down and used as place-mats during the meal.
6. Put up removable decorative hooks and have a hole puncher and string ready for when all the guests arrive. Have everyone bring a personal turkey decoration to wear as a necklace during the celebration.
