Here are several coloring pages that will pop up as you cursor over them.

In elementary at Thanksgiving time, we made turkeys in the first and second grades with a potato, toothpicks for legs, and for the tail, wings, and head - cutouts from colored papers.

It was n the first grade classroom, that I learned what a rotten potato smelled like! We had left the potato turkeys over the long Thanksgiving weekend and they did not smell pretty when we returned. Whew! They were fun to make, though. (Now I would worry about wasting a potato.)

With Christmas and Kwanzaa cmeing just around the corner from Thanksgiving, and with numerous gift-giving challenges ahead for parents and friends, you mught be interested in the Classic Toy Museum.

There is even a Pez Musum.

How about Magna Doodle and Etch-a-Sketch?™ That company is still around and operating n Ohio. Ohio Art opened in 1908. Today, they also make lithographic parts for large corporations like Disney, Starbucks, Altoids and Coca-Cola.

Candy from the early 20th century is also still dsitributed in Ohio at the Old Time Candy Company.

This corporation puts together gift packs for gift giving as well as individual orders. It's fun just to look at their online catalogue. I've never seen some of these candies before, but my parents, grandparents, and great grandparents surely enjoyed some of them.

They even have FIZZIES!
