simple thanksgiving craft -countdown to thanksgiving bookmark



This is a fun and simple craft to start off a month long of celebrating gratitude.

Tell a story or read a book that teaches about giving thanks or expressing gratitude each night until Thanksgiving.

  1. Cut heavy cardstock paper about 2 inches wide and 6 inches long.
  2. Normally you would hole punch a hole into the top midsection of your bookmark but with this turkey bookmark, there´s no need to.
  3. Add a calendar onto your bookmark, 6-7 rows and 5-6 columns.
  4. Add your turkey by following the steps below. If you don't have a fancy puncher, just cut free style and it will look just as cute!










Here are two books we love that taught us something about gratitude.  Click on the photo to direct you to a market to purchase the book online.
