DIY Kids Turkey Keepsakes
There’s a reason that the handprint turkey is still a standard Thanksgiving craft – it’s timeless and universally loved. We made this cute handprint before my daughter’s first Thanksgiving, and we look forward to pulling it out every year and comparing her hand size.

The Cutest DIY Graduation Cap!

One thing that I’m really excited about this year are the memory books that my students have been working on. Not only are these going to be amazing keepsakes, but they are also helping to prepare them for the kind of work that they will do once they get to kindergarten.
