I hope that, whatever size gathering you&#8217;re planning on having this year, you are able to enjoy some delicious food and special time with people you love.<\/p>\n<p>Many families enjoy their own traditions this time of year: recipes reserved especially for Thanksgiving, crafts, lists of things to be grateful for, outdoor sports, etc.<\/p>\n<p>When I was growing up, my mom was always really great about coming up with a fun art project that the kids in my family could do as we waited for the turkey to cook. To this day, I can still remember those fun, simple art projects, and the quality time I spent working on them with my cousins. More often than not, a few of my adult relatives would join in on the fun before we were finished!<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for some fun, art projects to do with your family this week,\u00a0 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sparketh.com\/\">Sparketh<\/a><\/strong> has some great options that would be perfect for all ages and skill-levels. You could use these at an extended family gathering on Thanksgiving, or with your own kids sometime earlier in the week. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/community.sparketh.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">We also have a gratitude-themed art contest going on throughout the holidays in our free Sparketh Community!\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First, we have this <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sparketh.com\/courses\/simple-turkey\/\">Simple Turkey<\/a><\/strong> tutorial that may remind you of nostalgic turkey art you did as a child. However, this fun turkey tutorial takes the classic turkey drawing one step further to help you create a comical, cartoon-version of the classic &#8220;hand-based turkey.&#8221; This would definitely be a fun project for everyone in the family to try!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-18991 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sparketh-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/07093107\/1-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"330\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sparketh-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/07093107\/1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/sparketh-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/07093107\/1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/sparketh-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/07093107\/1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/sparketh-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/07093107\/1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/sparketh-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/07093107\/1-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/sparketh-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/07093107\/1-50x50.png 50w, https:\/\/sparketh-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/07093107\/1-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/sparketh-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/07093107\/1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another project that I think would be perfect for this week is this beginner-level tutorial for a\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sparketh.com\/courses\/painting-a-fall-tree\/\">Fall Tree Painting<\/a><\/strong>! For this project, you&#8217;ll need paint, a brush (or brushes) and a canvas.
