Thanksgiving chain

Most years we make a Thankful tree, however this year we wanted to try something different. After thinking of a few different ideas, we settled on making a paper thankful chain. It turned out cute and was a fun decoration to have for our Thanksgiving day.

Snowflake pumpkins

My boys love to make snowflakes! So when I came across this idea to make Jack O'lantern 'snowflakes', I knew we had to try it! The boys and I had a fun time making and displaying these this year.

Pharaoh's Crook

For my oldests History lesson we have been studying all things Egypt. One of his art projects was to make a Pharaoh's Crook. I knew we'd never be able to make just one, so we made it a family project. Daddy made the crooks out of newspaper/magazine paper and masking tape. The kids then painted their taped crooks the colors of their choosing. They were quite happy with the results and play with them often. And bonus- only some of the times do I have to take them away for improper usage. :)

Paper pumpkin ornaments

For our October kids book group we read our favorite Halloween book Jack O' Lantern and made these fun pumpkins! We enjoyed having these as decorations for not only Halloween, but also for Thanksgiving!
