Here are loads of Thanksgiving activities for preschoolers that are sure to get them excited for Turkey Day.

With 26+ creative ideas to get everyone in the Thanksgiving spirit, you’ll have enough fun-filled activities to get you through the entire month of November.

TURKEY CRAFTS

November’s not complete without a turkey craft or two. Here are some easy crafts we’ve found for your little turkeys. We have a HUGE list of Fall Craft Activities for Preschoolers that you should check out as well.

THANKFUL TURKEY CRAFT

These cardboard turkeys from A Dab of Glue Will Do focus on the real meaning of Thanksgiving: thanking God for all the good things He’s given us. Kids will write something they’re thankful for on each of the turkey’s tail feathers. Display it all month long to remind yourselves to practice gratitude.

TURKEY COLOR MATCHING CRAFT

Practice color matching with this cute turkey from Messy Little Monster. Each of the paper plate turkey’s tail feathers are a different color. Your preschooler can then match paper circles to the color on the tail feather, saying each color out loud as they work. It’s a fun way to reinforce color recognition.

PAPER BAG TURKEY CRAFT

Turn an ordinary paper bag into a fun turkey puppet to play with this fall. This one is made with real leaves as turkey feathers, but you can sub in faux leaves or construction paper feathers if you’d prefer. It’s a wonderful craft to go along with stories like Turkey Trouble or How to Catch a Turkey. The kids can use their turkey puppets to act out the scenes!
