37 Easy Thanksgiving Crafts To Create With Your Kids

So, what’s your favorite holiday?

For kicks and giggles, if you ask any kid what their favorite holiday is, they will most likely tell you that it is Christmas. 

Why?

 Because besides their birthdays, Easter, & maybe even Lunar New Year, Christmas is the most popular time of year when they will be receiving an influx of toys, games, and all of the things that parents dread; cleaning up after, tripping on, and mucking up the entire house. 🤦🏻‍

Can we say, clutter, anyone? 🤦🏻‍♀️

So instead of putting so much emphasis on gifts and ALL the things during the holidays with your immediate family, let’s try to focus on being grateful for the people that we spend the most time with on a daily basis instead. 

Our kids are our favorite people. We love to spend our precious time with our kids whether it be playing games, participating in an activity, or making things together there is no place we would rather be than with our sweet kiddos.

So this Thanksgiving, let’s give them the gift of being grateful for each other.
