Every time I’ve asked my kids what they wanted to make this week they both said ” Turkeys!” I warn you now that there may be a bunch of turkey crafts around here this year. Before I start posting too many new Thanksgiving crafts I wanted to make sure we shared our archives of easy Thanksgiving crafts. I have gathered simple crafts for Thanksgiving from years past for you to find easily all in one place.

Native American Headdress – this craft was removed after a fantastic discussion with a Native American educator who explained the sacredness of Headdresses and how even a well-intentioned craft was not appropriate. I know many of us have created these crafts with children for many years with good intentions but when you know better you do better so I have removed it from my site.

Oh my goodness, I’m so glad I found you. I love how you emphasize what the adult should be doing and what the child should be doing. I find myself way more frustrated than I have to be. I just want to prep what I can and let them have FUN! Instead of being a nag!

Yay! Oh and I’d be a big ole’ liar if I didn’t say that those reminders are for me too!

Oh Thank you!! 21 thanks to be exact. This is exactly what I needed today to get ready for the holiday. I’m not sure if my boys will be as excited- both under 4 and not all that interested in art/crafts- but hope my enthusiasm is contagious!! Love your daily emails / site and all the inspiration you provide. Cheers ~

Can you create a book list for thanksgiving? They seam to be spread out on the different craft pages.
