I Need some Thanksgiving decorations that a 7 year old can make

Oh, there's lots of things a 7-year-old can do and, with just a few simple tools, such as paper, crayons, scissors, and school glue. Especially this time of year. Take her out to a park or just for a walk in the neighborhood to gather a few fallen leaves from trees, and, maybe even pick up small twigs. Supply her with some plain white paper, crayons, and glue at a table. Tell her to gather a few leaves and place them side by side, even overlapping, on the table beneath the paper. (Broken crayons are best for this) Take hold of the crayons sideways and rub the crayon on top of the paper that is covering the leaves. Use different colors, like yellows, reds, oranges, browns and greens - colors of the fall season. When she is finished with the coloring, let her glue twigs to the edges of the paper, and, wallah, she has created her own picture to hang! Or, with a hole punch, she can punch holes in the gathered leaves and, with a piece of yarn, "sew" the yarn through the holes in the leaves to make a garland to hang on a mantle or use it to decorate a window. I used to love doing things like that with my kids. Pine cone painting with glitter - even getting messy making paper mache objects out of balloons, old newspapers, flour and water paste. We used to make "bowels" like that, using the balloon to shape the bowl, and when it dried, pop the balloon, and proceed to painting / decorating the bowl to hold the painted pine cones, twigs, and leaves. With a creative mind, a few household items, school supplies, and a bit of nature, who needs "kits?"

The adult mentally handicapped I work with made a cute table top decor last week. They used mini pumpkins, two each, and stuck toothpicks in the top one to poke into the top one. Like a snow man. The activity director used artificial seed pods to cut up for eyes, nuts would do as well. She put little arms between the upper and lower by inserting them, I think with a little glue, not sure. Used brown crinkle strips or raffia, or spanish moss to make hair. Each little pumpkin person had a personality of its own, and they were easy to make. You can turn pine cones on their sides and insert and glue feathers or paper feathers for tails and pipe cleaners formed for heads. Have fun with the cutie.
