Happy Thanksgiving! (for grandfolks and kids)

*Source: Spoonful.com

Grown ups pull off Thanksgiving, with fragrant dishes and football watching. However, the kids in the family can get involved in prepping for the big meal too! Children of all ages can enjoy making crafts with Grandma and Grandpa, by making adorable holiday centerpieces to adorn the table. We suggest this Plastic Bag Turkey Centerpiece, created by Spoonful.com:

What you'll need

• 7 colorful plastic bags
• 3 pipe cleaners (at least one should be red)
• tacky glue
• 1-inch pom-pom
• 2 tiny white pom-poms
• yellow craft foam
• black marker

How to make it

1. Cut the handles and bottoms off four plastic bags. Trim the bags into 7- by 9-inch sheets and stack them, as shown. Starting on a short side, make 1-inch accordion folds.
2. Tie the folded stack at the center with a pipe cleaner.
3. Gently separate the layers, creating a puffy ball shape. With scissors, trim the body to the desired size.
4. Make the tail: Cut the handles and bottoms off the remaining bags and trim them into 13- by 8-inch sheets. Starting on a short side, make 1-inch accordion folds. Tie the folded stack at the center with a pipe cleaner; do not separate the layers. Trim the tail to the desired size.
5. Finish the turkey: Twist the pipe cleaners together to join the body and tail; this will also create the neck. Form a small loop at the neck's end. With tacky glue, adhere the large pom-pom to the loop. Glue on white pom-poms for eyes, a yellow foam beak, and a red pipe cleaner snood. Draw on the pupils.
