My kids and I don’t love Thanksgiving for the same reasons. I love it because of the family and food while my kids love it because of all the fun Thanksgiving crafts they get to make. Now being the kids of a blogger, they do more crafts than the average bear. They are still not quite sure what I do though, but they are always delighted when they pass by my computer and see a craft they have made. So over the years we done more than our fair share of Thanksgiving activities. In looking back through the archives, I was able to assemble this list of our favorite Thanksgiving Crafts for Kids. All of these crafts have been tested and approved by my kids so I feel confident in saying your kids will love them too! After you have had your fun crafting, try our Thanksgiving Dinner Casserole!

Try KiwiCo

Looking for more fun activities to do with your kids? I highly recommend KiwiCo, which you can enjoy no matter the weather. As a former teacher, I was really impressed with the quality of materials found in KiwiCo.

Some moms have told me that they want to do activities like I do on Mess For Less with their kids, but they just don’t have to the time to go buy all the supplies and prepare them for the activity. KiwiCo is the perfect solution. Every month your KiwiCo will focus on a particular theme like Colors, Dinosaurs or Gardening.
