Best Thanksgiving Fun For The Kids
Are you ready for some Thanksgiving fun? If so you are in the right place! I have collated all of our most popular Thanksgiving posts below.
The Thanksgiving activities are broken down into the following sections:
- Educational Thanksgiving activities
- Thanksgiving arts and crafts
- Thanksgiving party
There are lots of activities for both younger and older children, so I am confident you will find something you will enjoy.
They are not all for homeschool families either, the educational activities can be enjoyed at school or at the library. But everything else can be enjoyed where ever you are.
If you homeschool as we do, or your kids go to school, you can have loads of fun with the kids in November.
Other fun holidays we celebrate in November include:
- Bonfire Night (November 5th)
- Remembrance Day (or Veterans Day)
- St Andrew’s Day (November 30th)
Make sure you save (and pin) this post for later, and definitely keep checking back as I am always adding new content.
Before you check out all of the free printables we have, why not save yourself the time and download them all for a small fee?
There are 17 different activities included on 65 fun packed pages.
