Here’s one more simple and cute Thanksgiving craft to add to your list of possibilities with the kids. Make an adorable cornucopia out of paper plates, let the kids color some fruit and hang it up to enjoy! Come on in and I’ll share the “how to” with you:
Here’s what you’ll need for this Thanksgiving Cornucopia Craft for kids:
- 5 dessert sized paper plates – gold or brown, whichever you can find
- stapler
- white paper
- crayons or colored pencils
- glue
- scissors
- hole punch
- ribbon, or yarn to hang it with
- Optional – fall silk leaves as embellishments
Now, on to the fun:
- Fan the 5 plates out so the edges are overlapping
- The last one should be a little pushed up so it is a bit higher than the others, like it’s curving upwards
- Staple them together
- Take your scissors and shape the top to resemble a cornucopia – leave the top 2 plates alone and make a curved tail out of the last 3
- Cut the white piece of paper so it fits inside the center of the dessert plate
- Let the kids color some fruit and vegetables onto the white sheet of paper
- Glue that down to the front dessert plate
- Punch holes in the top of the cornucopia for hanging and tie yarn or ribbon to the holes
- If you feel like it…Add silk leaves for embellishments
- You are done, my friend!
