use this
already decorated turkey
from hp.com. Cut
a slit in the bottom of the turkey.
Print as many chain links
as you need.(there are 17 to a page) Every day in November have children
write something for which they are thankful on a link and attach it to
the chain. This idea is from teacherhelp.org

as easily. This is from childfun.com
