I want to do a little craft project with my kids. What are some fun Thanksgiving crafts you do with your kids?

The old hand turkey with papers is always cute :)

This site below has some great kid Thanksgiving crafts
http://holidays.kaboose.com/thanksgiving/

Personally I think anything where they have to write down what they are thankful for is a good craft (make them think). I also love handwritten placecards done by the kids. Not sure how old your little ones are, but the site above has some nifty ideas.

my MIL make pinecone turkeys with the kids for our Thanksgiving a few weeks ago - pinecones, feathers, glitter (cause you can't have enough glitter with four kids, right?!?! ARGH!) and googly eyes. When I get home from work, I'll post a pic to show you.

there were some cute hybrid ideas in the October Bella Scraps magazine. I have 2 code to give out - PM me if you would be interested in the Oct Issue.

Last year we made Turkey's with a little fun foam kit my mom bought. I also made a Give Thanks can (that none of the adults did)

At the preschool we also did paper bag turkeys: http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/turkeycrafts/l/blturkeycenter.htm

You can also make "Fall" decorations ... leaf garlands, wreaths, ect.
