As we gather around the table to give thanks and celebrate the season, why not decorate your home with a touch of handmade charm? In this blog, we'll embark on a creative journey with your little ones, exploring easy DIY holiday crafts that not only add warmth to your Thanksgiving decor but also make for treasured memories.
Plus, we'll share some of our cozy and stylish clothing items from Mackenzie Madison of Philadelphia!
Start by crafting gratitude tree t-shirts with your kids. Grab plain tees and fabric markers, encouraging them to draw a tree trunk on the shirt. Each family member can then add their handprints as leaves, writing something they're thankful for on each one. Not only does this create personalized shirts, but it also becomes a beautiful display of gratitude.
Supplies:
*Pair this activity with our 'Wispy Leaves' fall leggings for an extra touch of style.
Turkey Handprint Placemats by Terrific Preschool Years
Transform ordinary placemats into festive works of art! Have your kids dip their hands in different colored paints and stamp them on plain fabric placemats to create adorable turkey handprints. Add googly eyes, a beak, and feathers for a finishing touch. These placemats not only add a personal touch to your Thanksgiving table but also serve as keepsakes for years to come.
Dig into your fabric scrap stash and create a 'Thankful' banner. Cut the fabric into triangles and have your kids write things they're thankful for on each one. String the triangles together, and voila! Hang it proudly in your home as a reminder of gratitude. This craft not only repurposes fabric scraps but also sparks conversations about thankfulness.
Let creativity and gratitude collide with these simple and enjoyable DIY crafts. The best part? The memories you create will linger long after the last slice of pumpkin pie. And as you enjoy these crafting adventures, make sure your little artists are dressed in style and comfort with Mackenzie Madison of Philadelphia's handpicked collection of children's clothing. Happy crafting and even happier Thanksgiving!
