  • Pine cones and leaves with warm hues are characteristics of the season in which Thanksgiving arrives. These can be used in many Thanksgiving craft ideas for kids that will not only keep them busy but also make beautiful decorative pieces for your home. Ask children to collect a few medium or large pine cones and large leaves of the same size to craft a festive turkey. The bottom end of the cone can be used as the rear end of the turkey. Stick the leaves on the sides of the bottom and fan them out so it looks like the tail is sticking out. On the narrow end of the cone, stick a circle cut out from pink coloured paper to make its face and attach little eyes and a little cut out from red paper to make its snood. Turkeys produced in different sizes from different cones will make a nice décor for your mantle. Thanksgiving craft ideas for kids like these are quite easy and keep kids interested.
