Kids Thanksgiving Crafts and Printable Thanksgiving Activities

Beyond the Pilgrims, turkeys, Native Americans, and food, Thanksgiving is all about sharing the day with our family and talking about what we are thankful for in our lives.  What better holiday to prepare for by sharing time crafting with your children!  We have many different turkeys made from a variety of materials, headbands that can be used to help educate children about how it all started, and even ways to display and share the things we are thankful for.  Thanksgiving is one of our favorite craft holidays, and we hope with the crafts below, that it will become one of yours as well.  All of the crafts shown below were made in our own home, so we can ensure you that they are child-friendly and fun.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Kids Thanksgiving Crafts

Thanksgiving Toilet Paper Roll Turkey

This toilet paper roll turkey is a simple, but really cute Thanksgiving Day craft. Kids will enjoy cutting out the different color feathers of construction paper and putting the turkey together.  A great additional touch to this craft is to have your family members all write something they are thankful for on one of the feathers, and then display it at Thanksgiving dinner for everyone to share!


Thanksgiving Pilgrim Hat

What was it like to be a pilgrim?  Making this paper Thanksgiving pilgrim hat will get kids into the holiday spirit and allow them to pretend to be a pilgrim. This Thanksgiving craft is a simple and fun one that can be used in an educational context.


Thanksgiving Styrofoam Turkey

This Thanksgiving Styrofoam Turkey Craft is definitely unique and makes a fantastic Thanksgiving decoration! The different textures of the styrofoam egg and the pipe cleaners are great for keeping your children's attention. This is a great craft for older children, as younger children don't usually have the patience and ability to deal with the pipe cleaners.


Thanksgiving Handprint Turkey

This adorable handprint turkey is one of our all-time favorite Thanksgiving crafts. The turkey is made by using your child's footprint as the turkey's body and your child's handprints as it's feathers. This is a great, easy craft for children of all ages.  We always make a turkey for each member of the family and hang them on the door as a great Thanksgiving decoration.


Paper Plate Turkey

This Thanksgiving paper plate turkey craft uses a small paper plate, some construction paper and paint to make an adorable decoration for the holiday. This turkey is simple enough for even young children, but can be altered to keep the attention of an older child by letting them add some fun accessories (how fun is a turkey with a pink crown, or one with a baseball hat and bat!).


Native American Headband

This Thanksgiving craft is making a Native American headband out of construction paper.  This Thanksgiving craft is a simple and fun one that can be used in an
educational context along with our Pilgrim Hat Craft above.
