Once dinner was done cooking, we made our way to the table.  We sat and enjoyed ourselves and talked about what we were most thankful for.

For this all you need- -Plastic cup (cut the top portion of the cup off) -Straws -Tape or decorative washi tape It's so easy to put together, and my daughter absolutely loved watching them float.
