Thanksgiving Fun

Turn a Nature Walk Into Art!

By Donna Smith

Display Your Masterpiece!
To use as a centerpiece, simply place it in the middle of your dinner table. A few tall pillar candles set in the middle on a dish adds a wonderful look. A pot of fall-colored mums would also look great surrounded by the nature wreath. To hang on the wall as a wreath, simply use a nail to hold it to the wall, or tie a piece of ribbon around the top to make a hanger.

For the Younger Child
Younger children can join in on the fun as well! To start, cut a whole out of the middle of a paper plate. On a newspaper-covered surface, have her use regular school glue to attach leaves, small pinecones, twigs, acorns and rocks to the plate. Tie a piece of the ribbon into a bow and let her glue it to the top, then glue a piece of yarn to the back for hanging.

Materials Needed:

  • An enthusiastic child
  • Pinecones, twigs, leaves, acorns, tree bark, rocks, etc.
  • Hay wreath
  • Hot glue gun
  • Glue sticks
  • Fall-colored ribbon
