      What a great source of fun things to do over Thanksgiving! It would have taken me for ever to search these out individually! I especially love the pumpkin pie play doh!

      You have some great suggestions there. There are some kids that can get so restless if they’re somewhere other than home, I think something like Thanksgiving bingo for kids would really help them enjoy the time.

      My kids are totally game for anything that involves candy or cutting! I miss the days when my biggest worry was cutting the hand print turkey feathers straight!

      i love everything on your list. lol. these are a great pass time while waiting on dinner. i used to hate that i would always be starving by the time it was ready. these are good to keep your mind off all the yummy goodies.
