Thanksgiving Kid-tivities ~ FREE Printables for You!

🦃 Fun Activities for Thanksgiving

By Heather Bauer November 18, 2020

Thanksgiving is such a fun and relaxing day of football, food, and family, but my little ones don't seem to get quite as excited as I do, watching the bird browning in the oven.

This year I'm prepared with five Thanksgiving-themed activities for kids ages 2-12 to help make the wait for dinner a little more exciting for everyone! Most of the materials required for these activities are already in your home! The rest are easily sourced from your local craft store.

I included a convenient supply list to print out and take with you to the store, so you'll have everything on hand and ready for the big day.

I've also included links to five of my favorite Thanksgiving-themed coloring pages. Download your free PDF packet, gather your supplies, and make this Thanksgiving Day extra fun for your little ones!
