Educational Thanksgiving Activities
Today I have some Educational Thanksgiving Activities for you! If you know this site, you know that we are all about education and learning. So, today I combine a love for crafts and a love for education to bring you crafts where you can easily incorporate further learning! It is Thanksgiving time, so before we do our craft, we are going to read a book to help us learn about Thanksgiving. Some of my favorite books to help teach about the first Thanksgiving include…
Turkey Trouble
The Turkey Who Forgot How To GobbleRun, Turkey, Run!There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Turkey!
Those are all great books to help teach about Thanksgiving. I actually really love the Pete the Cat book because the kids enjoy the Pete the Cat character and it does teach the basics of the first Thanksgiving. The other two books, though are excellent for helping teach the real history. Pete the Cat is more light-hearted but all 3 do great at teaching about the history behind the first Thanksgiving. Now, without too much ado, here are some great educational Thanksgiving Activities. Enjoy!
