Today is Living Creative Thursday and I’m happy to be sharing a fun and easy Thanksgiving Turkey Kid Craft your family can make on the big turkey day!
This is the perfect kids activity to help keep little ones entertained while the adults cook and watch football. Plus, a homemade turkey makes an adorable keepsake or decoration for the Thanksgiving Day table.
Living Creative Thursdays is a “just for fun” blog link party where you can share photos of your creative living. Share on Facebook or Instagram by using the hashtag #LivingCreative. This November we are sharing holiday ideas with a theme of Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The goal is to create community, get to know others and inspire each other with our creative living. Not only is it a fun way to share creative DIY ideas, but a way for us to give back to the Living Locurto Community by featuring other’s creative projects.
I hope you will participate in Living Creative Thursdays and spread the word by telling your friends! Share online with the hashtag or enter your links here.
