CJ and I did a Thanksgiving "project". I have had these miniature pumpkins laying around since early October and finally decided to put them to some use. So we made turkeys out of them.
CJ had a good time. He finally got to use his kid scissors. Anything we would have done would have been ok with him as long as he could use those scissors.
On each of the "feathers" we (I) wrote "CJ is thankful for..." and then in crayon wrote something he told me his was thankful for. There are four feathers on our Turkey's because this year marks CJ's 4th Thanksgiving. It will also be the first Thanksgiving that we will actually be celebrating with family and on the actual day reserved.
Here are some pictures of our work. 
is it obvious that he does not get to use his scissors often? he wanted to "pose" with them. ha ha ha
using his scissors that he loves so much
almost finished
Our finished project
I am looking for more projects to do with CJ. He is 3 1/2 yrs. If you have any fun easy ideas for the holidays I would love to hear them. THANKS!!!

Super cute. I will have to break out the teacher file for you! There are so many fun holiday projects for little ones!
What a cute turkey. I will pull a recipe to make Christmas ornaments and post it to my blog. We made the ornaments last year, but I also did imprints of Cameron's hands and feet and gave them to his grandparents. It is fun and very easy and he can use the cookie cutters to cut out he ornament shape that he wants.
I love that he is so excited about his scissors. LOL! And I love this craft...so fun to hear what the little ones are thankful for. :)
I love the little Turkey, very cute.
