Happy Thanksgiving...what a busy time for everyone...trying not to miss the last few days of summer-like weather, putting away lawn and garden ornaments, cutting the grass one more time, cleaning the chimney, pulling out the shovels and toboggans so they are ready to go, stocking the shelves for the winter....

On Monday this week I hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for the kids from my daycare and Marilyn's too. They enjoyed turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, and stuffing with the less traditional "timbits" for dessert. Our crafts this week were based on the turkey...
one was a turkey cut from bristol board, the tail and body were decorated with felt squares, googly eyes, a coloured beak and feathers for the wings made a handsome table center-piece when a stand was added. Another craft used hand prints for the tail each of the four prints a different colour, then a brown print of one foot upside down for the body, it was decorated with googly eyes, a beak, waddle and feet cut from fun foam.
