21 Thoughtful Thanksgiving Gifts for Kids (Fun for All Ages!)

Thanksgiving is all about food, family, and togetherness, but let’s be honest, most of the attention goes to the grown-ups.

I never like arriving at someone’s house empty-handed, so over the years, I’ve started bringing small Thanksgiving gifts just for the kids.

Whether it’s a fun activity, a seasonal toy, or something to keep little hands busy while dinner’s cooking, these ideas help kids feel included in the celebration.

I also use many of them as prizes for our Thanksgiving games. And don’t worry, I’ve included thoughtful options for toddlers through teens, so no one gets left out.
