With Thanksgiving coming up next week I thought now would be the perfect time to share some fast and easy Thanksgiving crafts for elementary students.
These Thanksgiving crafts can be done in the classroom or at home.

These crafts for Thanksgiving are perfect for multiple ages. With simple enough instructions young children can enjoy making them, but enough details that older kids will enjoy them too.

Paper Bag Pilgrim House Craft
My kids and I had so much fun making pilgrim houses using a printable template and paper bag.
My older elementary age kids did the whole craft on their own. My preschooler had a great time coloring the template. I cut it out and he got to put it together on the bag.
Handprint Turkey
I love making these handprint turkeys with all of my kids. It’s a really easy craft for the older ones but they turn out so cute and I love seeing how their hands grow.
My toddler and preschooler love getting their hand traced and then playing with the glue and googly eyes.
Magical Pumpkins
Grab the free printable Pumpkin page then use a white crayon to write words or draw pictures on the pumpkins.
Let the kids use watercolors to paint the pumpkins and watch the magic happen.
Thanksgiving Color by Number Pages
Thanksgiving color by number pages are an easy no prep Thanksgiving craft for elementary students.
Print out all the free printable pages (or just your favorites) grab something to color with and the kids are set with a fun Thanksgiving craft.
Thankful Tree
Each year we do a Thankful tree. Throughout the month or week leading to Thanksgiving we add Thankful leaves to our tree sharing what we are grateful for.
Thanksgiving I Spy Coloring Page
Grab this free printable Thanksgiving I Spy coloring page filled with fun Thanksgiving images.
There are two different versions of this Thanksgiving activity page one is easier for younger children and the other is a little more challenging for older elementary age kids.
Thanksgiving Activity Pack
This free printable packet of Thanksgiving activity pages includes a coloring page, a journal page (my favorite) a questionnaire and trivia.
Tissue Paper Turkey
Use the free printable turkey template and different colored pieces of tissue paper to make this cute craft.
Both younger and older kids will enjoy making this turkey. The older the kids the more detailed and pretty the turkey will look.
I hope you enjoy these fun and easy Thanksgiving crafts. Happy Thanksgiving!
