Happy Halloween everyone! How cute are these Woodland Folk Toys for Thanksgiving? Since you’ve probably wrapped up your Halloween decorating spree and the costumes are done, I thought I would share a fun little toy I originally posted on eighteen 25. Wouldn’t they look adorable at the kids’ table for Thanksgiving? You’ve got to love anything that can help decorate a table while entertaining the kids! Hope you enjoy!
Woodland Folk Toys
Materials:
- wood peg people
- wool felt
- wood sticks
- pinecones
- acorn caps
- toilet paper rolls
- recycled cardboard
- strong double-sided tape
- glue gun
Instructions:
1. Gather natural supplies. We used twigs, pinecones, and acorn caps to embellish folk toys but you could use pretty much anything (bark, pebbles, dirt, grass, etc).
2. Cut a circle out of a piece of recycled cardboard and slit up the middle. Fold over on itself to make a cone shape and staple in place. Trim natural materials to fit on roofs.
3. Apply a layer of double-sided tape and adhere either the pine cone scales or twigs to the cone roofs
4. Cut a strip of wool felt and depending on the age of your child, have him sew a straight line across the top. Pull thread to gather, wrap around neck of peg, and sew in place. I love how proud my son is in the second picture!
