Play "Thankerchief"
Arrange the children in a circle. Pass around a "thankerchief" (handkerchief) around as they recite this poem:

Thankerchief, thankerchief, around you go -- 
Where you'll stop, nobody knows.
But when you do, someone must say,
What they are thankful for this day.

The player holding the "thankerchief" when the poem ends must tell one thing for which they are thankful.  This continues until everyone has had a turn.

Harvest Necklace (Younger children may need assistance.)
You'll need:
Large needle
string or fishing line
popped corn
raisins or dried cranberries
Optional items:
nuts, pieces of orange peel,
dried apple or apricot

Measure the length of line that you need to fit the necklace over the head. Don't forget to leave enough for tying off. Thread the needle and string the popcorn and other items alternately. When we were done we all made Native American head bands and wore them both for most of the day. Afterwards hang the necklace onto a tree or shrub for the local wildlife. Tip: The orange peel adds a very pleasant scent. Put a bit of all natural peanut butter on the necklace before placing it outside. The oils and protein are great for the birds!
 

Turkey Place Card Holders
You'll Need:
-A dry Pinecone for each guest
-Pipe cleaners in various colors
-Pine sprigs for each setting
-Address Label stickers

Cut the chenille stems in half with wire cutters. Make a loop and twist the ends for the feathers.
Twist a brown or black Chenille for the head and neck. Insert the feathers etc. into the pinecone. Use two address labels for each setting. Write the name on one of the labels. Secure the two labels together with the pipe cleaner in between them both. This avoids a messy glue situation! At table setting time, place the turkeys onto a pine sprig, add a few nuts and your done! 
Kit's Tip: I use the "fuzzier" pipe cleaners for thicker feathers.
