Thanksgiving Table for Kids
Thanksgiving is such a fun holiday to spend with family, eating until we regret not wearing sweatpants, but what about the kiddos?

The Thankful Holiday
Did you notice that our free printables include some darling “I am thankful for …” notes? We all know that Thanksgiving is supposed to be about being thankful, but sometimes teaching kids about gratitude is easier said than done. Amidst these fun games and free printables, we made sure to include these blank cards as a way to help kids (and adults!) focus on thankfulness. Here are a couple more ideas you can easily add to your day to help focus on gratitude:
- Take a moment for everyone to fill out a card and read them to each other before dinner.
- Fill out a card each night of the week leading up to Thanksgiving.
- Cut out some fall leaves (find some free printable leaves here) and leave them out with tape. During the month of November, tape the leaves to things your family is grateful for, and talk about what you would do without these things in your life.
- Try our Service Scavenger Hunt group date with your family.
- Read these tips for teaching young kids about gratitude.
We hope these ideas, along with our free printables, help you have a happy and grateful Thanksgiving!
