Over 40 Kids Thanksgiving Crafts

Thanksgiving is a holiday brimming with warmth and family traditions, yet often, it seems to play second fiddle to its flashier neighbors: Halloween and Christmas.

Growing up, my Thanksgiving celebrations were more about the feast and less about crafting. But now, I see this cozy holiday as a hidden gem for sparking creativity in kids.

Let’s face it, there’s a certain magic in watching little hands turn simple materials into something special. And what better occasion than Thanksgiving to channel that energy into crafting?

Whether it’s transforming a cereal box into a proud turkey or smudging paint for a handprint autumn tree, these crafts create more than just art—they make memories.

In this post, I’m excited to share a cornucopia (see what I did there?) of over 40 Thanksgiving crafts for kids. This collection features everything from playful pumpkin pies to vibrant turkeys, and even whimsical Indian corn projects.

It’s a treasure trove of ideas that cater to all ages and skill levels. Whether you have a curious toddler, a crafty preschooler, or an imaginative elementary-aged child, there’s something here to spark their interest.

It’s also a chance for you and your kids to pause amidst the holiday hustle and immerse yourselves in the joy of creating something together.

So, grab your glue sticks, scissors, and a sprinkle of imagination. Dive into this festive list and let the Thanksgiving crafting begin.

Share your experiences in the comments! Let’s give Thanksgiving the spotlight it deserves and create some unforgettable crafty moments along the way.
