Hey, Friends! I’ve joined up with my blogger friends to bring you all some fresh, new Thanksgiving crafts! Be sure to check out all their awesome projects at the end of this post and join in to our #homeforthefallidays Instagram game each week!
I did a quick and easy Thanksgiving plate that you can whip up with your kids. I love making things with my kids that can double as decor, don’t you?
I’ve made a decorative Christmas plate with both of my kids and love displaying them each year, so thought I’d make a Thankgiving version this year. I’ve had this cute little turkey pinned for a long time now, so decided to paint a similar one on a plate using my kid’s fingerprints as the feathers.
I found this cute plate at Home Goods for a couple dollars and love that I can string ribbon around the edge! To create the turkey, I simply had my kids paint an arch with their fingerprints, let it dry, then repeated using the next color.
After all three rows of feathers were dry, I painted on the turkey body and used paint pens to draw in details and lettering on my plate, sealing it all off with Mod Podge. SO simple and I love that my kids helped me make it!

So Sweet Samantha! What a fun memory to make with your kids!
Too cute! I love ideas that turn into memories! Cute plate.
Oh that's adorable! You can tell the kids helped but the style of the plate and the other details make it look really classy.

Great idea, and I know my daughter would just love creating this gem! Thank you so much for sharing with us on The Creative Circle link party. See you next week!
I love this idea. We're going to try it next weekend. I also included this post in my list of 11 activities to keep kids from getting bored on Thanksgiving.
