Get the kids involved. Make Thanksgiving even more special by asking the kids to help out with invitations, decorations, and other seasonal crafts. You just might be creating a holiday tradition they'll pass on to their kids someday. For some fun and easy Thanksgiving craft ideas, check out our slideshow.
