Thanksgiving Activities
Thanksgiving is a special time of the year when people come together to eat and give thanks for the many blessings in their lives. I have very fond memories of celebrating thanksgiving with my own family. One tradition that we had was to designate a table just for the kids. This table often had coloring pages and other activities to keep the kiddos busy while the adults reminisced on old memories. Trust me, preparing a few activities for kids on Thanksgiving is always a good idea!
Thanksgiving-themed crafts, games, and activities can also be a lot of fun to do throughout the month of November. Kids love a good activity, especially on those days when it’s too cold to play outside. Below I have compiled for you 20 fabulous Thanksgiving-inspired activities for your kiddos. I hope that with these ideas you can create many wonderful memories for yourself and the little ones in your life!
