Thanksgiving weekend can seem like an extra long weekend for busy parents. Mom’s and dad’s are running around trying to roast the turkey and bake all the pies. Keep the big kids occupied with these super creative Thanksgiving craft projects. The best part is the activities will pull them away from the screens and let them get creative. 

It can be a real challenge to find creative arts and crafts for older kids. They have to be more challenging and engaging than crafts that little kids make. These tween craft projects can be used to decorate the holiday table for years to come.
