With virtually no prep time, this is a very inexpensive, fun little project for kids of varying ages.

- Paints

Be sure to wash and dry the salt and pepper shakers thoroughly before getting started. Cover your work surface with newspaper or a placemat down before starting to paint or draw on the salt and pepper shakers. Make them as simple or detailed as you want! Use black paint for the pilgrim costumes and gold or yellow for the buckles on their shoes. Or, break out of the mold and do a harvest theme on your shakers - Indian corn, pumpkins, gourds and leaves. Note: The salt and pepper shakers can usually be found at most kitchen, bed-bath or craft store for around $1.
