Publisher's Note Here's a cornucopia of Thanksgiving Day crafts that offers children hours of creative fun. Fanciful turkeys, wreaths, Pilgrims, garlands, and holiday-table accessories are just some of the crafts that reflect the autumn season and this most bountiful of holidays. Full-color photographs.
Industry Reviews Gr 1-6 This no-frills collection of holiday crafts is long on selection, but short on variety and directions. The mix of functional and decorative items relies heavily on traditional fare such as turkeys, pilgrims, and cornucopias. Instructions are at times sketchy, requiring children to refer to poor-quality photographs of the finished projects for clarification. Free-hand drawing may challenge some children ("Draw and cut out a turkey shape") and missing details may create frustration for others. Readers looking for Thanksgiving crafts will find fewer but more unique ideas in Ronne Randall's Thanksgiving Fun (Kingfisher, 1994) or Kathy Ross's Crafts for Thanksgiving (Millbrook, 1995).
