Terrific Turkeys!

November 17, 2010 By
How is Thanks­giv­ing only a week away?  

I’m sad to report that other than our two fall leaves activ­i­ties we’ve done noth­ing Thanks­giv­ing related around here yet.  A rather unpleas­ant stom­ach bug has been sweep­ing through our house over the past week and has ren­dered us rather “activity-less”.  No sur­prise though, there are some great ideas out there that I would love to try.  
First off, if only I had a girl…

Check out the adorable dress made using this fleecy bird at Liv­ing My Life on Pur­pose!
Since there is no girl in the house though, I’ll stop day­dream­ing and we’ll stick to more “neu­tral” ideas…
I know Big Brother would espe­cially like all these ter­rific turkey ideas:


This grat­i­tude turkey from Par­ents is a great con­cept (sim­i­lar to some of the grat­i­tude leaf/tree ideas).  It looks easy to make and some­thing that the kid­dos would really enjoy.
Nap­time Craft­ing shared this cute felt turkey and includes a tem­plate for it! I’m hop­ing this might be one we man­age to com­plete!  It reminds me of the “build a jack-o-lantern” we made for Hal­loween. I think it would be really fun to do these sorts of felt activ­i­ties for the dif­fer­ent holidays/seasons as they are not only inex­pen­sive & easy to make, but so easy adapted for a vari­ety of learn­ing activities.
And, talk about inex­pen­sive, but cute–A Glimpse Inside’s toi­let paper roll turkey is some­thing the lit­tle ones would have fun help­ing with too! 
And, while there are tons of other sim­ple & cute turkey activ­i­ties out there, I wanted to high­light some gob­b­li­cious turkey treats too…
Let’s start with the per­fect kid-friendly Thanks­giv­ing morn­ing break­fast treats:
Seri­ously, how cute are those?! 

Lit­tle Num­mies whipped up those adorable banana gob­ble pan­cakes and the cin­na­mon rolls are the clever cre­ation of Fish­Mama at Life as Mom– a Thanks­giv­ing tra­di­tion at her house and she even has a health­ier ver­sion too! 

And, now, for two things sig­nif­i­cantly less healthy…
Genius and adorable!! 
Awe­some!  And look, they made one just for me! (I wish!) 
And, last, but def­i­nitely not least, if we are talk­ing adorable treats then you must check out Bak­erella. Her turkeys are prac­ti­cally too cute to eat!  
And, did you know that Bak­erella just recently released her book, Cake Pops?! 
Right now, you can order it here on Ama­zon for half-price at only $9.99!! What a great Christ­mas present that would make!! 
What Turkey crafts and treats do you like to make?
