Fun-For-All Thanksgiving: Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving craft

Our final craft for your child with special needs is a fun slice of Pumpkin Pie. This craft can serve as an excellent table setter (write each person’s name on the brown crust so they know where to sit!), as well as serving as a fun opportunity for your child to get into the Thanksgiving spirit. Whether your child’s able to eat Pumpkin Pie or just wants to make the craft as a way to decorate your home, this can be a festive way to get the family involved. We hope each of our craft ideas has been a welcome part of your celebration and hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
