My kids and I enjoy doing crafts throughout the year especially during the holidays. Here are some Thanksgiving crafts I have done with my kids over the years.
Thanksgiving Crafts For Kids
Supplies:
coffee filter
template washable
markers, glue
scissors crayons
I used the turkey head and feet from the template on Making Learning Fun. I printed off the template and had my kids color the turkey head and legs with crayons and then gave them the coffee filter which they colored with WASHABLE MARKERS (washable markers will be the only markers that will work) and then outside I gave them a spray bottle. They sprayed the coffee filter and then kept it outside so that it could dry. Once dried we glued it all together. Looks almost like a tie dye turkey!
Supplies:
Paper Plates
Markers Glue (not a glue stick)
Scissors
Construction Paper or Cardstock
I started off my cutting out the bow at the bottom of the plate, cutting slits and then working my way around the plate for the rest of the head. Then I had my kids design their own faces on their Pilgrims. For girls: I used cardstock, cut them into rectangles ad then cut slits to look like strands of hair then glued underneath the bonnet. For boys: I used black construction paper and drew out a hat and then yellow construction paper to cut out the buckle and glued to the top of the Pilgrim’s head.

I love the TP roll turkeys. I have never seen those before, but I think I might try them with the boys!!
These are fun crafts. I think we might make some paper plate crafts over the weekend too.
I love these paper plate crafts too! Cheap enough to make and fun for the kids.

I can’t believe Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away. I guess I’d better get out and buy a turkey!
These are just precious. I think my kids would enjoy the coffee fllter craft the most.

I love this! It reminds me of when my kids were young. The hand turkeys are so cute. We did something similar. but without the clothespins.
I just did the hand turkey with my toddler last week as something to do with her and she loved it. 🙂
These are really cute! I love the turkey hands because in a few years you can look back at how small they were.
