Easy Thanksgiving Crafts in the Classroom!

If you’re on the hunt for some simple Thanksgiving-themed activities and craft projects for the classroom, you’re in the right place. We’ve been working hard to curate a collection of unique Thanksgiving art projects, turkey art and craft activities, and more!

This “I am Thankful” turkey craft activity combines Thanksgiving with your writing content and has students writing about the things they are most thankful for. Accompanying the Thanksgiving writing prompt is a fun turkey craft to display their writing in the hall or at home.

Through this activity, students will demonstrate their ability to write in complete sentences to explain what they are most thankful for on the Thanksgiving holiday.
