DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Thanksgiving Napkin Ring Craft 

This makes a good craft for a Thanksgiving party.  It's fairly quick to do if you do the first four steps prior to the party.  Then let the party-goers glue on their own turkeys, use stickers and sparkles to decorate, and inscribe their names.

"Here is a suggestion for the napkin rings.  Turkey races!  Have the kids put a large marble in the TP roll and then they can race their wobblers around the house.  It would work great with any kind of napkin ring.  We have a lot of fun with this at our house."

Materials:

• toilet paper roll
• printer
• piece of paper.
• scissors
• glue, and.
• crayons.

Instructions:

• Print out the craft template of choice.
• Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.
• Glue the rectangular piece onto the tp roll.
• Cut the tp roll into 4 pieces along the dotted lines.
• Trace four handprints onto coloured construction paper.  Glue the turkey body into the center of each and attach to the tp roll pieces.

Alternative Decorating Ideas:

• Use stickers, sparkles, sparkle glue, or felt to decorate the napkin ring further.
• Use a marker to inscribe the name of the guest on each napkin ring.
• Print the black and white template on construction paper.  Print a second copy on white paper and mix & match the pieces.
• Set your page margins to zero (FILE, PAGE SETUP on most browsers) so the templates print out fully.
• Close template window after printing to return to this screen.
