Want the perfect way to keep the kids busy at the kids' table during Thanksgiving? Why not put together busy bags for each little guest with activities to keep them occupied and crafting while the adults enjoy the meal. These 4 easy Thanksgiving craft ideas are simple enough for the littlest kid but entertaining enough for those bigger kids at the table. With just a little prep, you will entertain the kids for a while.

This pumpkin kids craft idea will keep little fingers busy by providing orange pony beads and green chenille stems. Kids will string 20-30 beads on a pipe cleaner and then twist and bend the ends to close up the bracelet and form a pumpkin stem.

Pre-cut tissue paper into squares for each busy bag. Then let the kids use a glue stick to glue the tissue paper to kraft paper pie boxes. Top off the pie slice with a glued on white pom pom.

Put an assortment of pom poms, crayons, googly eyes, and glue sticks into the busy bag to let the kids get creative with the blank wood pumpkin cut outs. Kids can color their own pumpkin and then glue on googly eyes and pom poms. Or they can glue on the pom poms only. The creativity with this pumpkin craft is in their hands!

Cut out pumpkins from cardstock and cut lines in the middle leaving the outer 1" edge uncut. Then cut strips of paper and have kids weave over and under to create woven pumpkin art. Or skip the prep and include the pre-made woven pumpkin art kit.
