My 10-year-old girl has always loved a fun craft! Even as she enters her tween years, she still enjoys breaking out the art supplies and sitting down for a creative session of crafting fun. Her 5-year-old brother will also happily join in on the fun of cutting, gluing, coloring, and generally getting creative. That’s why I always take advantage of holidays and themed days to find crafts and activities for them to learn and stay entertained! With Thanksgiving coming up, it’s the perfect time to start crafting all things related to turkey, pilgrims, pumpkins, and of course, gratitude. Check out this list of over 100 Thanksgiving crafts and activities for kids!

Which of these Thanksgiving crafts and activities for kids would be a hit in your home?
Thank you for sharing this post! This is not only useful for the kids, but for adults to do. Sometimes you get bore during the Holidays (weird, I know) but sometimes you just want to chill and not go out and do creative things! I will share it!
I completely understand! There’s so many days off from work and there’s only so much eating and shopping you can do. LOL I’m glad you find these ideas interesting!
So many ideas. I’m going to have to put the kids to create some of these. I like that there’s something for kids all ages. Thanks for sharing the list!
Yes, I love that too! With my oldest being almost 11, I have to think about creative fun that she’ll like as well. 🙂
Thanks for including my gratitude game!
Sure thing! It looks like so much fun!
