OH! I can think of a few...There's always the standard turkey where you trace the kid's hand on brown construction paper and make the thumb the head and the fingers it's wings and decorate with feathers (craft ones or construction paper ones)...you could also make Native American head bands out of 'feathers' (again, cut out of construction paper or craft feathers) and a strip of paper around the head. Cornucopias are also fun to make...you can get some old home/cooking magazines and safety scissors and have the child 'fill' his or her cornucopia with clippings from the magazine. Um...cards about giving thanks are cute too. Leaf prints are fun and kids enjoy them...find really awesome leaves outside on a nature hunt and put paper over it and use rub a crayon sideways over it...you can even make a big 'tree' that way using various leaves and fall colors. I could go on and on. :) Hopefully this will give you a good start!

Bring a giant roll of white paper (staples $8.) unroll it in the kitchen and draw an outline of the little girl, and then she can color in her clothes. Then she can draw you. The paper is a great play date idea for a 3 year old. Also : Hide and go seek (maybe not if you don't know the house that well) Bake cookies (buy some Pillsbury sugar cookie dough and some cutters ) Park Walk-explore the neighborhood. Make a list of findable objects and do a scavenger hunt. Pine cones. Green leaves, acorns, flowers, dogs.... etc. Good luck

Here is a craft that you will have lots of fun making, and eating. You need: chocolate covered cherries, chocolate frosting, nilla wafers, "thanksgiving" candy corn, and regular candy corn, red hots, burnt peanuts(candy).
Take a nilla wafer and put a thin coating of frosting on it. Place the chocolate covered cherry on it.
Take another nilla wafer and 5 pieces of candy corn. "Glue" each piece to the wafer to make a "fan" shape. This makes the tail feathers of the turkey.
Spread more frosting on the wafer and the tips of the "feathers"and stick it upright to the side of the chocolate covered cherry and touching edge-to-edge the wafer on the bottom.
Take a burnt peanut and a 2 red hots. Glue a red hot to each side of the peanut with the frosting.
Take a piece of regular candy corn and cut the yellow tip off. Glue the tip to the side of the burnt peanut to make a beak.
Finally glue the peanut to the top edge of the chocolate covered cherry directly across from the tail feathers placed on earlier.
Congratulations!!!! You have just made an edible and tasty turkey. They are great as centerpieces, party decorations, and just eating. enjoy!

We made some floral arrangements together. Alot funner than it sounds. I gathered leaves, pine cones, twigs, etc.. with my daughter at the park. (she loved that part) Then I bought some flowers (and fake apples, gords, etc) at a craft store. and we put together a flower arrangement and a cornucopia.
We also did the turkey made by tracing their hands.
A really fun one that my grandma used to do with me. (and I'm glad you asked your question cause it reminded me of it and now I want to do it with my daughter this year)... is to have them paint/ make placemats for thanksgiving dinner. just take white or colored constuction paper and some paints (finger paints work well) and let them go at it. you can tie in the turkey hand idea too, by making hand prints and adding in eyes and a gobbler...
have fun!

Get a pinecone and glue feathers on one end of it. Color a turkey face and glue it on the other end.
Paint one of their hands and have them stamp it on a piece of paper. Glue a feather on each of the four fingers and put some google eyes on the thumb and a piece of candy corn for the turkey's beak.
Have them make their own placemats for their Thanksgiving dinner. Use a piece of construction paper and let them glue on pictures, put on stickers, etc. and then you can get it laminated for cheap at an office supply store. That way, they can use it and they are easy to clean since they are laminated and can be used over and over.

there are some really good websites out there that have wonderful ideas. One of them is the crayola site. Also, the family fun site. Both of them have ideas from toddler to adults. And, they really get into having the parent and child do the things together. Both promote enjoying the time spent together, child and parent. Good luck!

You could always make the turkey out of their hands. Just trace their hands onto a piece of paper and have them color it and put on eyes and all the other details they want. Have Fun!
