All my Thanksgiving preparation, including cleaning and decoration is during the day when my kids are around. They should be busy doing something when I’m busy doing my thing.
Here it is, for craft we need some dried fall leaves, some sunflower seeds, some small cedar fruits, a brush and some finger paint and non-toxic glue. The craft will be on paper disposable plats instead of paper.
They can decorate their plates anyway, they like. At the end when the art is finished I make a whole on the edge of plate and make a loop with a thread. Then we will hang the art on the wall.
We bake pies, my son loves to work with dough. When I make the dough he gets his baking pan, a share of dough and some filling to make his pie. In the mean time my daughter is painting a mini ornament pumpkin.
We sing and listen to fun music, they even help me clean up. They think they are cleaning up:) Overall, we have lots of fun during the time that I’m getting to do what I should be doing.
Just a little imagination goes a long way.
Until Later,
