Thanksgiving Crafts and Activities Your Kids Will Love

OKEMOS, Mich.,––Now that Halloween is gone and November is here, it's time to gear up for the holidays. First on the list: Thanksgiving! This holiday is dedicated to the harvest. The very first Thanksgiving happened in 1621 when the Pilgrims and Native Americans hosted and attended a three-day long feast to celebrate the Pilgrims' first successful harvest in the New World.

In modern America we continue to celebrate this holiday with a large one-day or one-meal feast, but there's plenty of fun to be had leading up to Thanksgiving. Get in the spirit and check out these Thanksgiving crafts and activities your kids will love:

Fall Leaf Painting

Grab a few variations of leaves and let the kids have at it to create some cool pieces of art. You can even frame these as a keepsake and bring them out to hang each year when Fall arrives.

Count Your Blessings Calendar 

Each day, you'll write something you're thankful for on a sticky note and attach to the back of the leaf. Rotate which family member writes each day's note, or come up with each note together. At the end of the month, you can store the notes in a "time capsule" and read them next year.
