Two Easy-To-Do Crafts
Comments(7)
After reading the title to this post and, for those of you who know that on a scale of one to ten (with ten being outta this world spectacular) that my crafting ability ranks a minus one hundred, you are probably rolling your eyes and thinking, “Yeah, right!”
But it is true. These crafts are easy to do. At least it looks like it to me. (Haven’t tried them — yet!)
I just discovered a great site that shows how to do Fall Leaf Decor.
Then, there is the Corn Table Crafts. This was my favorite.
They have a very short video that demonstrates these easy crafts AND written directions. Sweet.
They have ideas for all holidays, for birthday parties, for entertaining, for food, for kids, baby showers, and even an article about how to handle an annoying relative. (Note to my relatives: please read this article. Then, you will know how to handle me . . .)
What is this site?
I thought that you’d never ask. It’s Holidash. (Isn’t that a clever name?) When you go there, make sure you have plenty of time to browse. It could be a time sucker a place to get lots of good ideas.
What are some of the activities you plan on doing with your grandchildren this Thanksgiving?

On my last trip I picked up a book called 1,2,3 I Can Collage! On Saturday two of my grands and I experimented with collaging. I think they’ll want to do it again soon. I also picked up a spin art set on sale at Toys ‘R’ Us. If we are going to play with it, though, I’ll have to buy some refill paint. My 8-year-old grandson was a little too liberal in applying the paint when he tried out the toy. He did make an amazing piece, though!
We always (or for the last 2 years) make a gratitude table runner. I just get a piece of butcher paper and cut it the size of a runner. Everyone traced their hand prints and writes what they are thankful for. It becomes part of the table decorations.
I have created a “Thankful Tree” (starts out with bare branches) at my house. It is about 6 feet tall and it is on one of my walls. I have given each family the supplies to cut out fall colored leaves and have asked them to spend some time as a family to think of things they are thankful for. I have asked them write what they are thankful for on the leaves then come and them on our families “Thankful Tree”.
I posted about it with a picture on my blog.

Susan, thanks so much for sharing your activities! Collages are so fun to do — and the spin art! I’ve seen that before and it reminded me of the carnival that came to town for the 4th of July when I was a kid. You could do something similar there. And I loved it.
Grandma Lizzie,that is such an easy idea. I think I will do that with our family this Saturday. Since our children will be going to their in-laws on Thanksgiving Day, we are having a Thanksgiving meal on Saturday. This is an easy thing that we could do!
Grandma Shelley, what a wonderful idea! I have a poster of a bare tree that I could use for this! I think I’ll do this on Thanksgiving Day! Thanks so much for sharing!! You are so creative and wonderful!
Be sure to post photos on your websites so we can see how they turned out.
