Baskets
Here is a simple basket idea for your child to fill with colored paper
fruit or flowers.
Take a paper plate and fold it in-half.
Hold the plate with the fold going up and down and cut across
the middle to within one inch of the rim.
Then, move the scissors up to the top of the
plate, one inch from the top. Now cut out a curved handle, one
inch from the edge.
Remove the cut out section.
Open the plate and have your child use a brown
crayon to create crossed lines on her basket. Then using the
side of a paper-less brown crayon, have her go across her basket
to color.
Pilgrim Collars
These are fun to make for your children to wear while they sing
Thanksgiving songs.
Take a paper plate and cut out a pie wedge (1/6th of
the pie).
Now cut out a circle in the middle of the plate large
enough for a child’s neck.
Turn the plate over and place it around a child’s neck
for a collar.
