Some November Crafts

We kept busy in November again with a lot of crafts! I realized at the end of the month that I hadn’t taken pictures of several of our projects... But these are some of the biggest ones we did.
  • Acorn Doughnuts – We took doughnut holes and frosted the top half with chocolate, rolled them in toffee bits and then stuck a pretzel piece in the top. And I thought doughnut holes were good by themselves...
  • Thanksgiving Wreaths – I got this project from dltk.com. We cut out pictures of foods, turkeys, and other Thanksgiving items and then pasted them onto a paper plate. Charlie did all of the positioning himself... He is getting really good at gluing! Lynnae had a lot of fun with it too. I then mounted a picture of each of them in the middle and hung them on our back french doors for the month.
  • Give Thanks Sign – I got this idea from makeandtakes.com. We traced letters with glue and then put different food items onto the glue to form each letter. I think Lynnae had the most fun with this one... Probably because I saw her sneak quite a few mini marshmallows into her mouth! It turned out really cute!
Finally, Lynnae made a cornucopia at school which we hung up for Thanksgiving Day. We are all really enjoying doing our crafts together! (I think even Andy likes it.)
