Fun Kid Created Thanksgiving Windows

With the kids out of school for Thanksgiving break, it is a perfect time to spend time with them by creating Thanksgiving art projects that can be hung in your windows. You don’t need many supplies, and these projects are quick and easy enough to do with them after dinner when everyone is home for the evening, or as something to pass the time during the day.Homemade Thanksgiving Window Clings

Materials Needed:

1. Different colors of puffy paint
2. Wax paper
3. Easy Thanksgiving templates

To Create:

1. Place the wax paper over the templates, with the waxy side up.
2. Trace the lines of the template with the puffy paint on the wax paper. The thicker the lines, the easier it will be to maneuver later
3. Let dry over night
4. Peel puffy paint images from wax paper and apply to windows.

Yes, you could just buy Thanksgiving window clings to decorate your windows. It would be faster and probably cheaper, but this project gives you the chance to make your own unique clings and provides a fun excuse to spend time with your family.Turkey HandsMaterials Needed:

1. Brown construction paper
2. Pen
3. Scissors
4. Feathers

You can also add eyes, a beak and legs to your turkey with construction paper, but these feathered silhouettes look just as good without them.Thanksgiving Window TableMaterials Needed

1. Brown construction paper
2. Double-sided tape
3. Foam food cutouts or cut food shapes out of different colors of construction paper

To Create:
