Time flies! Thanksgiving is right around the corner. There are tons of projects, games, and recipes that can keep your whole family involved in the holiday fun. We have included a craft idea and a recipe that you can enjoy with your child.Turkey Picture: Your child can help decorate your home for Thanksgiving by making pictures that can be hung on the wall or used as festive place-mats. Using the eyedropper makes this fun activity a great fine motor exercise.

What you need:
· Picture of a turkey from a coloring book or one printed from the Internet
· Eye dropper
· Watered-down tempera paint

Fill the eyedropper with paint and “paint” the picture of the turkey by squeezing out drops of paint. Use as many colors as you like to design your seasonal pictures.

Pilgrim hat cupcakes: Make the most of this opportunity. Practice math skills and pouring by having your child measure the ingredients. Mixing the batter is a wonderful way to incorporate “heavy work” into kitchen tasks.

What you need:
· Cake mix
· Ice-cream cones
· Frosting

Prepare the cake mix and fill the ice-cream cones a little more than halfway. Stand the cones in a muffin tin and bake. Once the cupcakes are cooled, turn them over, cupcake-side down. Use frosting to decorate the cupcakes and enjoy! (www.familyfun.go.com)
