We made a pilgrim hat centerpiece and filled it with fall flowers. Sareny and Isaac loved painting these mini-pilgrim hats, which we filled with dried popcorn to hold the namecards. The turkey placecards are made with stamppads and their fingerprints.
We also made an entire family of turkeys out of pipecleaners and pinecones from a friend's yard.
The kids also got to paint a ton of little wooden craft spoons to make the turkeys for these napkin ring holders, seen here on my new turkey platter.

I really don't think you can truly appreciate the huge mess they made of the table and themselves while doing these projects. Thank goodness for an understanding daddy who tolerated all the mess and cleaned up the kiddos after! But they really have been so excited to help make fun things for our house and can't wait for Grammy Jo, Bampa, and Lexi to get here later today so they can show off their beautiful artwork.
And speaking of artwork, Sareny made these adorable Thanksgiving crafts at preschool and I plan to store them with our new Thanksgiving decorations and proudly hang them up for years to come. I am thankful for the fall and such a fun holiday!

What adorable ideas! Great job!!
oh these look really cute. and even better in real life! i like how my name and sareny's name are both in that picture... was that planned?
Super cute Hill (and Sareny and Isaac)!!! Those are the cutest Thanksgiving decorations ever. You will have to treasure them forever. I love stuff like that.
Lex--yes, Sareny was always making sure her name was next to yours, so when I was taking the picture, I just selected those two.
Wow, your Thanksgiving crafts are absolutely adorable. What a great mom you are to incorporate the kids into the fun :)
I see our definition of who counts as one of the "kids" has become rather lax, since at least one of the crafts pictured was done by someone well on their way to a college degree.
Cute, Cute, Cute!!!

wow so much creativity and festivity! our idea of placecards were writing everyones name in sharpie on their napkin and paper plate and plastic cup! the turkeys: very cute!!!
