4 Arts And Craft Ideas For Kids During Thanksgiving

Fall is a wonderful season full of family, food, and fun. Leaves are changing color, fruits are ripening and pumpkin spice is in the air. Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and family members are arriving to reunite over a picturesque dinner. Here are four arts and crafts ideas to keep your younger family members occupied during the feast.

1. Tape-Painted Pumpkins

You will need some pumpkins, tape, and paint. Make a design out of tape on the pumpkin, and then cover the pumpkin in paint. After the paint dries, remove the tape to reveal a cool design using negative space.

2. Tabletop Turkeys

For this craft, you will need a paper cup, a pom-pom, construction paper, googly eyes and some glue. First, paint the paper cup brown. Then, glue the pom-pom to the bottom of the cup. Cut feather shapes from various colors of construction paper, and glue them to the side of the cup. Cut out a beak, a wattle and some feet, and add those to your turkey. Finish with two googly eyes.

3. Balloon Turkeys

For this project, you will need a balloon, construction paper, googly eyes and glue. Cut some feather shapes of various colors from construction paper, then glue those to an inflated balloon. Add a beak and a wattle, and finish with some googly eyes.

4. Hand Turkeys

Oldie but goodie. All you need are some colored pencils or crayons and a hand. Trace the hand and color in a creative turkey. The possibilities are endless! You could also cut out the hand turkeys and hang them up around the house for a festive decoration.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
