We love this time of year! Fall is in full swing, Thanksgiving is upon us and the holidays are right around the corner. Giving thanks is always in style, but especially this month as we count our blessings and pay it forward.

Crafts Thankful Turkeys Plan a day to create Thankful Turkeys with your family. A little crafting and time reflecting on what you’re grateful for quickly turns into festive table decorations or place settings. Get instructions at www.sandiegofamily.com/for-thekids/crafts-for-kids/thankful-turkeythanksgiving-craft.

Thanksgiving Party Favors These fall party favors can stave off pre-feast hunger pains or can be used as place cards for guests to take home. Learn how to make them at www.sandiegofamily.com/for-thekids/crafts-for-kids/thanksgivingparty-favors.

Fall Luminaries by Art with Alyssa Light up the Thanksgiving table (or your porch) with beautiful, glowing luminaries, easy enough for the kids to make! All that’s needed is colorful tissue paper, Mod Podge, and whatever jars you have on hand. Place a candle or battery-operated tea light inside to illuminate.
