Thanksgiving Centerpieces to Make

Preschool Matching Games
Although commercial matching games for preschoolers are readily available from toy stores, you can make many kinds of matching games yourself. Most matching games for preschoolers follow the same pattern; you simply place the cards face down in a grid and let children take turns looking for matches by turning over two cards at a time. They keep matching cards they find and lose their turn when they fail to make a match.
Hanging Crafts for Kids
Make a craft with children that they can proudly put on display, either by hanging it from the wall or hanging it in a window. You do not have to be an expert on crafting to make most projects, and most are suitable even for young children. As always, supervise kids when they are handling scissors or other sharp objects. You may need to be the one who cuts things if your child has difficulty or is too young to handle scissors properly.
How to Decorate Ceilings for Parties
When you are decorating for a party, don’t forget the ceiling. A decorated ceiling envelopes your guests in your theme. Let your guests step into a new world with hanging, bouncing decorations overhead. If you can reach your ceiling with a step stool or small ladder, you can decorate it with any theme you want. Grab a friend to help you when hanging items. Let her hand you each item while you hang it so you don’t have to worry about reaching or stretching from the ladder.
