Educational Thanksgiving Activities for Kids

Thanksgiving is a day for us to give thanks for all the things we have in our lives. It is also the ideal time for kids to learn as well. Here are some great educational Thanksgiving activities for kids.

thanks

Paper Chain of Thanks

Materials:
Construction paper in colors like red, orange, brown, yellow and green
Scissors
Glue stick
Instructions:
Cut the construction paper into strips with the scissors. One each strip, have the kids write something they are thankful for like their parent or their best friend or Oreo cookies. Create a chain from the strips of colored paper and glue links together.

Turkey Counting Game

Materials:
1 dice
Construction paper in brown, red, yellow and orange
Scissors
Marker

Instructions:
This game needs two players to play. Using the brown construction paper and a marker, trace your child’s hands to create 2 turkeys. Cut out the shape with the scissors. Using the red, yellow and orange construction paper, draw several feather shapes with the markers and use scissors to cut them out. Each person gets a turkey shape and one person starts off by rolling the dice. Whatever number it lands on needs to be read out loud by the player and they also need to choose the corresponding feathers to place on their turkey. The next player does the same thing and the game alternates for 4 rounds. At the end of the game, the person with the most feathers wins.

Alphabetical Thanksgiving Food List

Materials:
Paper
Marker

Instructions:
Fold a piece of paper in half lengthwise. Using the marker, on the left side of the paper, have them write down 15-20 foods items that are commonly consumed at Thanksgiving like turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, gravy, rolls and cranberry sauce. On the right side of the paper, have them write the words in alphabetical order.

    Great game to entertain the kids. It also sharpens their counting and reading skills, plus they get to be more aware of the things we must be thankful for.

    My daughter needs to be more thankful for things she has. I think she’s hit tween age before her time to do so. She is 8 and always wants the next biggest and best thing right after she just got something she wanted. I am going to do a lot of thankful actives this year.

#ad/gifted #ahavalove Siri, remove my makeup...S #ad/gifted #ahavalove 

Siri, remove my makeup...Siri, are you there?!!!

Ok, so that is not possible yet. 😂 But dang, you guys know I love trying new masks and peels. And after I removed my makeup, I tried out this AHAVA PURIFYING MUD Mask. 

No fillers, no fluff, no surprises in this product.  It's vegan and paraben free.  It feels so light on the skin and when it dries it almost feels like you can feel the goodness soak into your skin.  You only leave it on for two minutes and then wash it off. My skin felt so fresh and clean after this mask. Then, I applied the Ahava moisturizer and my skin felt so nice. 

If you want to try this mask or moisturizer for yourself or if you want to check out their other products, check out their website and use the code:  YOUR30 for 30% off site wide.  No need to thank me! Treat yourself, yo.
