BROWN BAG TABLECLOTH
Start with an amazing base for a table cloth. Not a stuffy one you buy at the store but how about one for FREE from the grocery store? Tape brown paper bags together and give them some art supplies and you have yourself a creation station!

BROWN BAG BIRD
While we are waiting for the Big Bird to be done why not give those little tummies a little appetizer they will actually eat? Did someone say popcorn??? Oh yes we did!
The Little Turkeys have their very own bird filled with popcorn!
So easy and terribly cute!
Here is a link to the instructions.
Speaking of terribly cute.

Pumpkin Pie Play-doh!
Did you ever think you had a totally original idea... I mean one that even Pinterest didn't have?? Yeah, I thought I did with this totally awesome pumpkin pie play-doh! Come to find out, someone thought of it first!! This site gives detailed directions and even shows very cute packaging ideas!
Finger Puppet Turkeys and Cute Turkey Stand
Martha Stewart comes through again! We got this adorable finger puppet idea from her site! Putting them on a candy stick also serves as a great party favor and putting them in this adorable turkey can double as a great centerpiece. We will be saving this turkey from year to year to use on our table because it has so many possibilities on what can be done with it! Styrofoam is a fabulous invention!!
These are a fun addition to any table... even the grown up one!! This is as simple as pushing print and you probably have all of the supplies on hand. My only recommendation for this is to buy super strog glue dots. The ones I had were not permanent and once I switched to permanent, they stuck without any problems!

Last but forever first in our hearts, the Infamous Turkey Caller. This is the BEST TURKEY CRAFT EVER and your children will ADORE IT. He not only LOOKS cute with hand print feathers and some fun foam but he SQUAWKS!
Details can be found here on how to make it. He's gotten a bit of a makeover and we found that you can use fun foam and GLUE DOTS to fasten any and all decorative embellishments. Our original design called for hot glue-- but we've made it even EASIER with glue dots found in any scrapbooking aisle!
