Thanksgiving Craft Activities for Children & Families With Turkey Trivia, History Quizzes & Printables on FamilyEducation

As families plan for the special meal, they can turn to FamilyEducation's Thanksgiving Place Card Creator (fun.familyeducation.com/thanksgiving/childrens-at-activities/59204.html) for a unique way to add a personal touch to dinner. Together, parents and kids can use this interactive tool to design eye-catching place cards illustrated with symbols of the season, such as pumpkins, leaves or a pilgrim's hat, and use them to plan a seating arrangement that will ensure that Uncle Jack and Cousin Kate don't have another holiday disagreement over politics.

"We all look forward to the great food at Thanksgiving dinner, but it is also a very special time for families to come together and celebrate the many things that we have to be grateful for," said Jess M. Brallier, publisher, Family Education Network. "With the unique activities and ideas on our parenting site, families can create their own traditions and have a truly unique and stress-free holiday."

Once the place cards are designed and printed, families can turn to FamilyEducation's Thanksgiving craft activities for children for more ways to decorate their holiday table. Little pilgrims and their parents can create turkey bowls or pilgrim hats to hold nuts and candy at each place setting, or use a special Thanksgiving printable activity to make a standing turkey out of construction paper to use as a beautiful centerpiece for the table. Even the youngest members of the family can make festive holiday decorations with FamilyEducation's special Thanksgiving activities for toddlers, such as a turkey wall hanging or a Thanksgiving dry leaf collage.

Everyone can share what they are grateful for this Thanksgiving season by making the "talking tablecloth" featured in FamilyEducation's Top 10 Thanksgiving Activities for Families. Using felt-tip pens, family members write what they are thankful for on the tablecloth -- a great way to incorporate the true meaning of Thanksgiving into holiday celebrations for years to come.

While everyone is scurrying around getting ready for the meal, or after the big dinner, or when the family is relaxing in front of the fire, are great times to have a turkey trivia challenge by taking FamilyEducation's Let's Talk Turkey or Thanksgiving History Quizzes. Families can also pause and take time to smell the turkey with FamilyEducation's Top 10 Ways to be Gracious and Give Thanks This Thanksgiving or Tips for De-Stressing the Holidays.
