Craft Roundup: Thanksgiving Day Family Fun Distractions

If family and friends join you for the whole day on Thanksgiving, it’s good to have a few activities and distractions up your sleeve. This week’s roundup has some fun ideas for projects to entertain this year’s guests.

 

Thanksgiving Kiddy Table

I wouldn’t mind sitting at this kid’s table on Thanksgiving – would you? Take a cue from Hoosier Homemade and have your family help make the decorations – or take them on all by yourself for a special treat when younger guests sit down to eat.

 

Woodland Creature Paper Bags

Thanksgiving leftovers or special gifts can be sent home in these adorable gift bags. Put those extra lunch bags to work with this how-to from Lines Across.

 

Thanksgiving Jumper with Removable Tail

The guest that shows up in THIS dress will surely be the hit of the party! Removing the tail turns this cute jumper into an autumn-approved dress to pass on to the next owner. Get the tutorial from Sewing The Littleheart Collection.

 

Turkey Disguise

We all know what a standard turkey looks like. But what does a pirate turkey look like? Put imaginations to work on Thanksgiving with this hands-on decorating activity by Tonya Staab.
