Thanksgiving Ideas: Tips from Our Readers

5 Quick and Cheap Thanksgiving Décor Ideas By Kathy Wilson
 

Money Saving Tips

• Watch your grocery ad for the best price on turkey.  Many stores offer huge discounts on turkeys in early November.  

• Shop bakery outlets for dinner rolls

• Use day-old bread to make your own stuffing.  Dry the bread on a countertop for a few days.  Once it is dried, you can break into pieces or cube to make stuffing.

• If you are hosting a family meal, don't be afraid to ask your guest to bring a particular dish to pass

Crafts

Thanksgiving Mobile:

Collect birch sticks and then have cut outs ready with holes punched in them so the kids can string them, we did corn cobs, pilgrims, Indians, canoe, leaf, turkey, etc.....the cutouts are just construction paper or you could use die - cuts too.....this was neat for our 3-5 yr old preschoolers.

Corn Cob Pictures:

Kids can decorate a printed picture of a corn cob by gluing real popcorn kernels unto the page, just paste it on a thicker type
paper, why not try "popped" corn too...., then add some "silk" with whatever you have lying around such as old embroidery thread

Nature Walk: 

Go on a nature walk with your kids and collect items like colored leaves, acorns, and pine cones.  Place in a basket and use as a centerpiece or a table decoration.
