Fun Post-Thanksgiving Crafts to Do with Visiting Family

The day after Thanksgiving is for a short project, not a production. Set out one activity and let people come and go.

Ideas to try

  • Finish the thankful tree with anyone who has not added a leaf.
  • Pinecone creatures at the kitchen table.
  • Draw the meal: each person draws one dish. Hang them on the fridge.
  • Make one paper garland together. Stop at two metres.
  • Write a postcard to someone who could not come.

Want the mess to stay at the studio? Open Studio in Milton is a drop-in hour for this kind of making. Weekend sessions are on the events page.
