3 FAMILY ACTIVITIES FOR THANKSGIVING
Unless you have a child auditioning for “MasterChef Junior,” you’re probably not going to let the little ones cook the turkey this Thanksgiving. Just because the kitchen might be off limits, though, doesn’t mean you can’t find a few creative ways to make the holiday extra special for your kids. Spice up Thanksgiving with these fun, family-friendly activities. COLORING-BOOK TABLECLOTHS If you have a big family, you are probably familiar with the Thanksgiving tradition of the kids’ table. It may be smaller than the grown-ups’ seating arrangement,
Grab some colored paper circles — or cut them out — and have your children write down things that they are thankful for. A silver Sharpie is great for this. Punch holes in the tops of the circles and run string through them. Tie the other end of the string to a coat hanger or embroidery hoop and hang it from the ceiling. STUFF THE TURKEY GAME Want to get the kids outside so you can get to work in the kitchen? Create a Thanksgiving-themed game for them to play outside while you prep the stuffing and put the turkey in the oven.
but it doesn’t have to be any less special. Turn your kids’ table into a canvas for a colorful, creative dining experience. To do this, use craft or art paper to cover the table. Tape everything down tightly and provide crayons and colored pencils for every place setting. If you want to add some extra holiday spirit, put the drawing supplies in empty cranberry sauce and pumpkin cans. GRATITUDE MOBILES Of course, Thanksgiving isn’t just about delicious food. It’s also about reflecting on the parts of our lives we are grateful for. Teaching kids about gratitude is the most valuable Thanksgiving lesson. Bring that concept to life with a gratitude mobile.
To create a holiday-themed “Stuff the Turkey” game, all you need is a few paper bags. We’ll bet you have some left over from shopping. Use two small bags stuffed with scrap paper to create legs and glue them to a larger bag folded to look like the body of a turkey. Now that you have your turkey, you need some balls to stuff it with. Anything soft and baseball-sized will work, even some balled-up paper. Kids will take turns trying to toss the balls into the turkey, scoring points for every shot made.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“I called Mr. Silva a couple days ago because I was looking for a local lawyer. I needed some personal legal advice, and Patrick Silva took the time to stop what he was doing and the work that he was preparing for a big case the next day in order to hear what I had to ask. He gave me some legal advice, regardless of whether he was working my case or not. I really appreciate the time you took to help me, and I am grateful to know that there are lawyers like you that truly care about people. Thank you for your time. If I need any cases worked on, I know I’m going to Patrick Silva!” –True Pisano “Excellent law firm! I had read over 50 reviews before calling them, and each review was consistent. Patrick Silva took my case, which had plagued me for over 14 years, and he fixed it in a mere few months. I didn’t have much faith in the justice system, but Mr. Silva came through as advertised. I doubt that I’ll ever be in California again, but I wouldn’t hesitate to call on them again. Thanks, Patrick!” –southernmarine25 2 www.willsandtrustlawyers.com | www.beatmydui.com
