We all know it is nice to relax on Thanksgiving. Typically there is the adult table and the kid’s table, and of course all the kids think we talk about “boring” stuff… which we all know is not the case:) Sometimes you need some time off as a parent. To do that your kids need to be distracted. Here are some quick and easy crafts that will keep them busy.

1. Leaf Picture: All you need is some white copy paper and glue stick. Have the kids go out in the yard, find leaves, and glue them down to create a picture.

2. Shoot Turkey: You will need balloons, a sharpie, and Nerf guns. Simply blow up the balloons and draw a cartoon turkey. Assign each turkey a certain number of points and write it on the balloon. Have the kids stand 10+ yards back and shoot at the balloon turkeys racking up points as as the Nerf bullets hit the turkeys.

3. Leaf Sketch: For this activity, you need white copy paper and crayons. Have the kids go pick out leaves. Then hold the leaf firmly under the paper. Gently rub the crayon over the paper and watch as the leaf imprint shows up!
