Easy Kids Thanksgiving Crafts That Are Lots of Fun

If you are looking for kids Thanksgiving crafts that are very easy and tons of fun, then this collection of 14 is one that you need to see!

When I was little we didn’t craft much for Thanksgiving. It’s one holiday that frequently gets neglected, being sandwiched in there between Halloween and Christmas! I always like to give Thanksgiving a little attention if I can, and that includes kids’ crafts.

Is there anything more fun than creating a turkey from a cereal box or your handprints? I think not. If you want to keep your little ones busy with some kids Thanksgiving crafts, check out these 14 ideas. They will love every one of them!
