Kids Love Helping With Holiday Preparations

Entertaining little ones during holiday preparations can be a real juggling act. I've been a teacher for almost 30 years and a mom for 25. Plus I was a hands-on (in the way) kid myself. I'm the little tot in the photo and even at 3, I loved helping adults. So I know about making things kid friendly. I say don't just entertain, put them to work helping. I love it, my kids loved it and your children will too.
Here are ways kids can help with Thanksgiving.

* Party decorations patrol. Bust out the craft stuff, print turkey, pilgrim, Native American or fall foliage crafts. Have children color, cut and paste to make neat table decor. Here are free printable Thanksgiving activities.  Ways Kids Can Help With Thanksgiving Preparations
