The ‘official’ holiday season is upon us, and for many it means looking back at the year that will soon draw to a close. I know that this has been a year of change – and a year that has gone by very quickly. We could think about changes that made this a very ‘challenging’ year for many – but I would rather pause to reflect on the many blessings that have touched our lives. We at le•top do not have to look far to know that we have so much to be thankful for!
Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends – we hope your day is also full of reasons to be thankful!

Thanksgiving is approaching – construct some really cute decorations and create excitement by making your children part of the preparations. Kids love creating art – and what better way to ‘Give Thanks” than to be surrounded by your little darling’s masterpieces!
This idea is quick, easy and fun!
SUPPLIES:
- Construction paper in Fall colors (brown, red, orange, yellow)
- Pencil or Pen
- Scissors
- Glue
- Googly eyes and orange pipe cleaners (optional – but really fun)
- Most importantly…Your kids!
DIRECTIONS:
- Trace around you child’s feet using brown construction paper and cut them out. The two pieces will be the turkey’s body.
- Trace around your child’s hands using red, orange, and yellow construction paper and cut them out. These 6 pieces will be the turkey’s feathers.
- Glue the two footprints together to make the turkey’s body by overlapping the heels (forming the head) and the balls of the footprints spread out (forming the body) – think ‘triangle.’
- Cut out a round red wattle (small circle) and orange beak (smaller triangle.) Glue the wattle, beak (triangle in the circle facing down,) and googly (or paper) eyes to the turkey’s head.
- Make two legs from paper and glue them to the back of the body (or use the pipe cleaners and tape them to the back of the body.)
- Glue the handprint “feathers” to the back of the turkey (spreading them from the base to the top and back down the other side.)
- Decorate your house with these adorable turkeys! Make sure to put your child’s name and age on the back of the turkey for a fabulous keepsake. Gobble – Gobble!!!
