When I think of Thanksgiving, the first thing I think of is delicious food and turkeys! Another important part of Thanksgiving that is easily overlooked though is simply getting together with family and friends to share thanks. Flipflops and Applesauce has an easy craft for kids that will remind everyone of thankfulness- paper cornucopias full of thankful thoughts!

Materials:

• 8 inch square sheet of paper
• Double-sided tape or glue
• Scissors
• Markers, Crayons, Stickers or other decorations for the cornucopia
• Popsicle sticks or slips of paper

Directions:

1. Roll the square sheet of paper into a cone and secure it with tape or glue.
2. Decorate the cornucopia to give it a personal touch.
3. Have everyone write down something that they are thankful for on a popsicle stick or on a slip of paper and put the thoughts in the cornucopia.
4. Share everyone’s thankful thoughts over Thanksgiving dinner! This cornucopia makes a great table centerpiece!

From everyone at the Austin Children’s Museum, we wish you all a very safe and happy Thanksgiving!
