Well, today I'm going to continue with the Thanksgiving fun by showing you how to make a Log Cabin Paper Sculpture. This is a fun craft and will show you how creative you can be.

It would make sense that I would post an Indian girl next. If you thought that, you are absolutely right. Indians were a very important part of Thanksgiving happening at all. They taught the Pilgrims how to grow food.... before that the Pilgrims were starving to death. After the Indians taught the Pilgrims how to grow food we had an amazing harvest and that's how Thanksgiving came about. So, let's make our Indian Girl out of paper.]]> http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2011/11/how-to-make-a-indian-girl-out-of-paper/feed/ 0 http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2011/11/how-to-make-an-indian-boy-out-of-paper/ http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2011/11/how-to-make-an-indian-boy-out-of-paper/#comments Wed, 09 Nov 2011 17:48:05 +0000 Shana http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/?p=8148 The Indians were an important part of the first Thanksgiving. After all, if it wasn't for the Indians the Pilgrims wouldn't have had such a wonderful Harvest back in 1621. And, if there was no harvest there would have been no Thanksgiving. The Indians taught the Pilgrims how, what and where to plant the food. So, today I'm going to show you how to make an Indian Boy out of Paper.]]> http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2011/11/how-to-make-an-indian-boy-out-of-paper/feed/ 0 http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2011/11/how-to-make-a-pilgrim-boy-out-of-paper/ http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2011/11/how-to-make-a-pilgrim-boy-out-of-paper/#comments Wed, 09 Nov 2011 12:42:22 +0000 Shana http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/?p=8135 I have a paper craft that is perfect for kids of all ages.... even the youngest of children.

But, how can I show you how to make a boy Pilgrim without showing you how to make the girl. After all, women were an important part of the Pilgrims and their new colony. Women were a big help when it came to creating a Harvest. And, if it wasn't for a successful harvest there would have been no Thanksgiving. I shutter at the thought. So, let's make a Girl Paper Plate Pilgrim for Thanksgiving.]]> http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2011/11/how-to-make-a-girl-paper-plate-pilgrim-for-thanksgiving/feed/ 0 http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2011/11/how-to-make-a-paper-plate-pilgrim-for-thanksgiving/ http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2011/11/how-to-make-a-paper-plate-pilgrim-for-thanksgiving/#comments Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:22:42 +0000 Shana http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/?p=8030 Pilgrims are an important part of Thanksgiving.
