Thanksgiving Craft class fun stuff

Here are just a few pictures from the special Thanksgiving edition of Craft Kitchen. The kids did many projects such as: Leaf printed napkins, napkins rings with felt leaves, chocolate dipped marshmellows that looked like pilgrims hats, fun sock turkeys, and tri-bead Indian corn. They also got to enjoy some poems and stories about Thanksgiving, as well as, some Thanksgiving themed coloring pages. Above are shots with children doing the Indian corn, and coloring up some pilgrim fun.

Thanksgiving Craft Class projects

Here's our clan of turkeys. The kids had a great time creating these. The ones above are the creation of myself and my daughters. We were very busy helping all of the kids during our Thanksgiving craft class to take pictures on the fly.

The Indian corn was also a huge hit with the kids. They were easy and super fun to make. I couldn't help but to make more and more and more. They looked lovely around the Thanksgiving table, which my daughter assembled.

For Halloween we silk screened treat bags with the kids. Above are highlights of the screening process.

After School Fall '09 Linoprints

We thought it would be a interesting idea to try linoprints with young children. The kids drew their design into styrofoam, and created a framed piece of art and stationary.

After School Fall '09 Door Hangers

This was a fun project that we did with the children. They each got to make door hangers that had a special message on each side. We wanted to highlight our "Star".

Project highlights from our second class. The kids made collaged gift tags and hand painted hanging mobiles.
