Thanksgiving Activities for Kiddos

I was thinking about having a craft for Abe and Ben to do on Thanksgiving.  It seems that the triptophan doesn’t seem to affect little guys quite the same way it does us grown-ups. So, I was thinking of cutting out a picture of a turkey without feathers. Then, I will cut out a bunch of feathers and have Abe and Ben (if he gets the idea) write things they’re thankful to the Lord for on the feathers.  Then, we can glue the feathers on our turkey.  It would be fun, and help them to be thankful.  So, if I can get this stuff together and bring it with us this would be an easy thing to do with them.  I am usually not a crafty mommy, but I thought it would help my attitude to have a plan that engages them and points to some of the meaning behind this huge meal.  I really want to start traditions for our family that point to Christ and give them great family centered memories to look back on.
