Thanksgiving Fun For Kids

Halloween is over, so we can officially start talking about Christmas, right? Just kidding… we’ll stop for a brief moment to talk about Thanksgiving. If only for a moment 🙂

If your Thanksgiving gatherings are anything like mine, you end with a metric ton of food, football on the television, and a lot of bored kids as the day drags on. This week, we’ve found some fun and kid friendly crafts, activities, and snack ideas to keep the kiddos entertained while everyone else is in a Turkey Coma.

Games & Activities

I’m a sucker for word games of any kind. This fun (and FREE) Thanksgiving Word Search from OneSheTwoShe.com will keep the kids busy while you put the finishing touches on the meal.

The only game I love more than word games is TRIVIA! This FREE printable turkey trivia game from CraftaholicsAnonymous.net is fun for the whole family and can create a fun and more interactive atmosphere around the dinner table.

If you’re in an area where you have nice weather on Thanksgiving, get the kids outside for this fun Stuff the Turkey game from KidFriendlyThingsToDo.com.

Who doesn’t love a good game of bingo?! Use candy corn, or your favorite wrapped candies as the markers for this adorable FREE printable bingo game from CrazyLittleProjects.com.

Crafts

These darling turkey finger puppets from IHeartCraftyThings.com are sure to entertain the kids!

Many kids see Thanksgiving as another opportunity to sit around the table and stuff their faces. Get them talking about the real reason you’re all together – to gather and give thanks – with this FREE printable Thankful Tree from LandeeSeeLandeeDo.com.

Young kids will need some help from from a grown up for this washi tape turkey craft from CraftaholicsAnonymous.net, but it sure is cute isn’t it?

Treats

When I was a kid, I wasn’t a fan of pumpkin pie. These cute Turkey Bites from SuburbanSimplicity.com would have been a welcome site!

Southern Living Magazine has a tutorial for these cute candy and cookie pilgrim hats. The kids will have a great time making these!

For the ultimate after dinner Thanksgiving treat, how about these chocolate covered Rice Krispie treats shaped like turkey legs?! Check out the tutorial from KidFriendlyThingsToDo.com.
