Indian corn

I had this idea brewing around in my head so I was excited to see if it was a keeper...and I think it will be!



Since frozen corn is on sale right now for Thanksgiving we were able to get a large bag for $1. We put the corn on trays in the dehydrator for about 4 hours. The cool leaf tops are actually from a plant in the front yard (sorry I don't know its name) which worked out great.




The materials we used:
*Dehydrated corn
*Thin cardboard from a cereal box cut into the shape of an ear of corn.
*Dried leaves
*Clear tacky glue (my most favorite glue)
*Scotch tape




Yes, even an 18-month old can do it!






River spread on the glue and then spread on the corn. 





Ta-da! 
I just used scotch tape to adhere the leaves at the top!

Thanksgiving place mat

I have seen quite a few cute Thanksgiving place mats floating around and wanted to make one too! I found a place mat template ( I liked the formal placement of the fork, knife and spoon) and then added the "Happy Thanksgiving 2010" text for each child to practice letter writing. I wanted to incorporate the traditional hand turkey and then I wrote what each person was grateful for at the bottom. I laminated the cardstock place mat and then sent them home with the child!



 I think this was one of the better keepsake projects 
we have done! If you would like a copy just let me know what your email address is...
