Step-by-Step Instructions
After you print and cut out the templates, color and assemble your ship. When you're done, don't forget to take photos of the finished heirloom you've made for the family archives. Then, when kids and adults gather on Thanksgiving Day invite everyone to write the things they are grateful for on the pieces of paper you've cut up and load them up on the ship.
