A Fun Thankfulness ACtivity For Kids At Thanksgiving

This adorable FREE Thanksgiving Activity printable is such a great idea for anytime in the weeks and days leading up to Thanksgiving.

The concept is ridiculously simple.

Download the free printable (there are two files, you can download the one you want or both!).

The first version is already colored in for you. All your kids have to do is cut out the Turkey and feathers.
Then you use a glue stick or tape to attach each feather to the back of the turkey.
Either before or after you stick the feathers on, you talk about things you are thankful for. Every item your child is thankful for you write on one feather.
The second version is exactly the same as the first one EXCEPT, the turkey and feathers are not already colored in. So, your kids can color the turkey and feathers first, and then talk about what they are thankful for!

Isn’t this such a fun and easy activity to do with kids on Thanksgiving? And I think it’s an easy way to teach thankfulness to even younger children.
