Free Thanksgiving I Spy Printable

Thanksgiving I Spy is my go-to printable when I need something quick, quiet, and engaging for kids during the holiday prep.

It buys me time to finish cooking while they’re happily counting turkeys and pies. Over the years, it’s been one of those low-prep activities that actually works, especially when kids are bouncing between excitement and boredom.

It’s also a great way to sneak in a little early math and focus practice without it feeling like school.
