Coloring Pages

• A coloring book page is the simplest way to engage young children. Printing a sheet of the Mayflower allows you to tailor the craft to the holiday season. Print coloring pages of the Mayflower along with other seasonal staples such as a cornucopia, pilgrim, Native American and a turkey. Distribute the pages to the children along with crayons and markers.
  
  

Milk Carton Ships

• Milk carton ships are a centerpiece craft that provide two healthy snacks for the children. Cut off one face of the cartons, then cover the outside of the cartons with brown tissue paper, affixed with glue or tape. Draw four white sails on plain paper and skewer them on a pair of wooden skewers, with two sails on each. Stick one end of the skewers into a pair of apples, then place the apples into the cartons. Cover up the apples inside the carton with more tissue paper to complete the carton ships.
  
  

Letter Holders

• A Mayflower letter holder is a craft made using a pair of paper plates and some colored paper. Paint one plate blue to serve as the sky, then cut the second plate in half and paint one half brown. Staple the two painted pieces together, with the raised rims touching, creating a pocket within the plates. Cut the remaining half plate in two, slightly off center, and glue the two halves onto the blue sky as sails. Cut a thin strip of brown paper and glue it between the sails running into the boat, then some blue paper waves to glue near the bottom of the boat.
  
  

Bucket Hats

• Bucket hats are the perfect accompaniment to a Mayflower craft, creating a pilgrim hat for the child to wear as he shows off his boat crafts. Cut a circle of black paper larger than the bucket, then cut a smaller circle out of the middle that just barely fits over the bucket. Slide the ring over the bucket. Wrap black paper around the body of the bucket to make the top black, then create a buckle by cutting out a piece of aluminum foil.
