Canoe Craft for Kids

Are you looking for Thanksgiving Crafts for kids? Try some of my other ideas, like:

 

You’ll Need:

  • Brown Band-Aids – I used 1 & 3/4 x 4 inch
  • Orange, and Green Sharpie, or another marker
  • Rick-Rack
  • Glue gun, and sticks – or a good craft glue
  • Construction paper folded, or card stock – Fall Colors

Instructions:

Make a simple Canoe out of a Band-Aid, and add Q-tips for Oars! This makes a cute place card for a kid's Thanksgiving table!

  • Do not take the paper strip off of the Band-Aid – yet
  • Decorate one side of the Band-Aid as I did – I kept it simple with a wavy line, and dots. But, you can use Native American symbols and get really creative.
  • Make a simple Canoe out of a Band-Aid, and add Q-tips for Oars! This makes a cute place card for a kid's Thanksgiving table!
  • Now, take the paper strip off of the Band-Aid, and carefully match the edges of the Band-Aid as you fold it in half down the length of the Band-Aid
  • Glue the canoe onto your folded sheet of paper, and glue 2 Q-tips in an X pattern for Oars
  • Write the child’s name on the card with a marker
  • Glue Rick Rack across the card as an accent. I used green, but you could use blue as water, and place the canoe on the “water”!
