Thanksgiving at the Tappletons’ by Eileen Spinelli reminds me of some the interesting things that can happen when you try to make a Thanksgiving dinner.
What could happen?
The turkey could slip out the door.
The bakery could be out of pies when you finally get in line.
The salad could be used to feed a pet.
The potatoes could be splattered all over the kitchen.
You could end up with a house filled with people expecting a meal.
They could end up being fed odd and ends from the kitchen.
That could be what happened at the Tappletons’.
This wonderful family of foxes learns through it all that family and not food is what is most important.
What did we do?
Crafts
We made two turkey crafts together. They ended up being so cute.
We have been so busy getting ready to fly to Arkansas to meet up with family. There hasn’t been a lot of time to explore books this week.
Those are cute crafts, and the book sounds funny!
Love your turkeys especially the pipe cleaner one! I should read that book, it’s a message I need to be reminded of at this time of year. I want to focus on what’s important and then the anxiety of “what if…” creeps in. That’s why I love picture books, often they can remind us of the truth in very sweet and gentle ways 🙂
Thank you so much for the invite 🙂 I love the idea of combining stories and crafts together, it’s one of our favorite things to do too!
Both the turkey crafts are so cute! especially the pipe cleaner one!
Your paper crafts reminded me when our kiddos were small, I would trace their tiny hands and they would draw a turkey face on the thumb and legs where their wrist is. It was a fun project! Enjoy your Thanksgiving!!!
I like the pipe cleaner turkey. Very cute.
this is such a great idea. love this linky. you’re are such a fantastic mama!
What cute turkeys!
Those turkey crafts are adorable!
I love you blog~!~!~! You are so creative. I love reading books to Ben and he is now working on the reading program at his school. If he has so many books read to him in one month he gets a coupon for a pizza at Pizza Hut.. So far I have read over 30 books to him.. Reading is an adventure and I love reading.. Have a Blessed Day,,ta ta for now from Iowa:)
We read this book too this year, but the illustrations pictured humans, not foxes. Your turkeys look very cute! Have fun in Arkansas.
Those turkeys are so cute! 🙂 Have a great trip next week. How exciting. I am our host but have so much to do to get ready. Especially with a Home Owners meeting here Saturday morning and Emily’s Bookclub later that night. Busy weekend!
Aw those turkeys are awesome! Would you mind sharing them on my Fun Stuff Fridays link up?

The book sounds really fun, and your crafts are too. I hope you have a fun trip to Arkansas this week!
We are definitely going to make the pipe cleaner turkey next week when we have a group of kiddos over for a playdate. I love that it is such a cute, no-mess activity.
The crafts are awesome. Thanks for sharing.
