With the shorter and cooler days, you may be spending more time inside. If you are looking for indoor activities, how about bean art? Try tracing your hand at using dry beans and other grains to make this turkey. Or, get creative and make your own design and let us know what you make. Photos of your bean masterpieces welcome! Tag us or send us a photo.
