Stop by the Children’s Room and take one of our Thankful Turkey Activity Kits home to complete as a family! Decorate the turkey’s body, then discuss what you are thankful for. Write each answer on a colored feather and attach to your turkey – feel free to add more feathers than we included if you have a lot of thanks to give! Once all the feathers are attached, hang the finished turkey prominently in your home for Thanksgiving.
All supplies are included in the activity bag. Please take only one bag per family – supplies are limited, and we want to share this fun holiday activity with as many people as possible!
With Thanksgiving around the corner, we’ve filled our book displays with countless tasty treats! Whether fiction or non-fiction, mystery or adventure or fantasy, every literary morsel has some connection to food or its role in our lives – some even come with recipes you can try out for yourself. Next time you stop by, be sure to grab one and chow down!
