Easy Thanksgiving Crafts for Kids

Remember when you were a preschooler or in the primary grades and you learned how to trace your hand and turn it into a turkey? Wasn’t that handprint turkey just the coolest thing ever? We’d use our Crayola crayons and make each feather a different color.

Mind you, I love the turkey handprint. I love seeing how small their hands were! But, you can only trace your hand so many times. If you have kids to entertain this Thanksgiving, take a look at these simple Thanksgiving crafts for kids. They don’t require you to buy a ton of supplies. These crafts don’t require time-consuming prep work either. But, I think the kids will enjoy it and it’s much better than just thrusting some crayons and printer paper at them and saying, “Here, trace your hand and make a turkey!”

Not that I’ve ever done that. Just an example ;)
