Fun Thanksgiving Family Crafts to Decorate Your Home

Thanksgiving is a time for family, gratitude, and homemade crafts! Creating decorations together is a wonderful way to celebrate the season and make lasting memories. Here are some simple, festive ideas to get your family involved in decorating for Thanksgiving. 

Handprint Turkey Art

A classic craft, handprint turkeys are easy and meaningful. Simply paint each child’s hand and press it onto paper to form a turkey body. Add colorful feathers, a beak, and a wattle. Write something you're thankful for around the handprint.

Pinecone Turkeys

Gather pinecones, and turn them into cute turkeys by adding googly eyes, construction paper beaks, and colorful feathers. These can make charming table or mantel decorations.

Thanksgiving Thankful Tree

Create a tree from construction paper or branches, and add leaves with things you're thankful for written on them. It's an interactive way for everyone to reflect on their blessings.

Pumpkin Salt Dough Ornaments

Make salt dough (flour, salt, and water), cut out pumpkin shapes, and bake them. Once they’re cool, paint and decorate them to hang as ornaments or use as tags for gifts.

Grateful Garland

Cut leaf or pumpkin shapes from paper, write what you're thankful for on each one, and string them together to make a beautiful garland to hang around your home.

Paper Plate Pilgrims

Turn paper plates into pilgrim faces by adding construction paper hats, collars, and facial features. These can be displayed on walls or used as fun table decorations.

Corn Husk Wreath

Create a rustic wreath by attaching dried corn husks to a foam or wire ring. Add fall accents like mini pumpkins and ribbons for extra charm.

These crafts are easy, fun, and perfect for involving the whole family in the Thanksgiving spirit. They’ll brighten up your home and create lasting memories to cherish year after year. Happy crafting!
