Thanksgiving songs

Well those CD's that I bought in that yard sale had some great Thanksgiving songs for kids. I do not know were these came from but I can't take credit for them.

The Turkey

The turkey is a funny bird.
Its head goes wobble, wobble.
And all it knows is just one word:
"Gobble, gobble, gobble."

Albuquerque is a Turkey
to the tune of "Clementine"

 

Albuquerque is a turkey,
And he's feathered and he's fine,
And he wobbles and he gobbles,
And he's absolutely mine.

He's the best pet that you can get,
Better than a dog or cat.
He's my Albuquerque turkey,
And I'm very proud of that.

He once told me, very frankly,
He preferred to be my pet--
Not the main course at my dinner,
And I told him not to fret.

Now my Albuquerque turkey
Is so happy in his bed,
'Cause for our Thanksgiving dinner,
We had egg foo yong instead.

 

We are Thankful
to the tune of "Are You Sleeping?"

 

We are thankful, we are thankful,
For our food, for our food.
And our many blessings,
And our many blessings,
Thank you Lord. Thank you Lord.

Five Fat Turkeys

Five fat turkeys short and plump.
The first one hid way high upon a stump.
The second one said, "We should run, run, run."
The third one said, "or we'll be done."
The fourth one said, "I don't want to be dinner."
The fifth one said I wish I were thinner!"

I'm A Little Turkey
(sung"I'm A Little Teapot)

I'm a little turkey on a farm.
Here are my feathers, here is my beak.
When Thanksgiving comes I get real freaked,
Please don't eat me for your treat!




Thanksgiving (tune - Where is Thumpkin)

Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving
Here it comes, here it comes.
Turkey on the table, turkey on the table.
MMM good, MMMM good.

Cornbread muffins, chestnut stuffing,
Pumpkin pie, ten feet high.
We were so much thinner, before we came to dinner.
Me oh my, me oh my!

Thanksgiving fun snacks idea

I have to admit that I dislike to cook. I get cranky when I cook and I can be a little on the overbearing side. Just ask my family and puppies.

I did find these and I thought that they looked cute and easy to make. Easy even for me to whip up while cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my family.

So Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy.

Thanksgiving crafts

My mother is always saying that Gobble Gobble, comes before HO HO HO. So Let's see what I have on my cd's.

 This is a nice little gift idea for kids. Get yellow tissue paper and rap the gifts. It looks like that they have used real corn husks but I guess you could cut some with green tissue paper too. Using the twine, I think makes it really rustic. It is a nice project to think about.

Of course as a Pagan candles are a must. This is a great way to accent the harvest theme.

 

I have my small tree up all year so I like the ornament ideas. This is really cute to take some sticks from you own trees in your yard and make mini trees for a center piece. Pumpkins and grains again give it the Harvest theme.  

 

Here is an idea for a decoration or candy holder. If you use a candle you must remember to make sure that your decorations are not in any danger of catching on fire. I have seen this idea before using plastic cups for kids to drink out of. I guess the kids would use a straw but I thought it was cute. You can find the fake leaves at the dollar stores and it looks like they have used wooden spoons for the turkey head and feet. The button is a cute touch, along with the heat nose. I guess if you cant find a proper nose your child could draw it.

Here are some little decoration ideas that makes the harvest theme stand out.

I have seen these as hair clips. I have a daughter of a co-worker that makes hair clips. I got some cute ones for Addie. I may have to share them with you later.

These look like they have cut flowers in half and gluing the bodies on.  The bodies look like black snowmen. At the dollar store I got Christmas foam stickers. One of them are snowmen and I guess I could take a marker and make them black or brown. A couple of googlie eyes and a little nose and voila!

If you turn them into hair decorations, take a second look on how to attach the hair pin so it is facing the right way.











Lots of people, like my mother, loves wreathes. This is actually my favorite one. You use lots of ribbon but I love the effect.

Now remember what I have said about any craft, it is all about having fun and being creative. Those little imperfections that happen just gives your craft a personal touch. So have fun and be adventurous.
