In the grand scheme of things, turkeys are just one tiny part of the Thanksgiving holiday. While it’s true that nearly every family will be eating turkey for Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving isn’t even about the turkey! Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks and express our gratitude for all that we have to be grateful for this year. If you are tired of the usual and typical turkey crafts, you don’t have to do a turkey craft this year! I’ve put together a list of over 20 Thanksgiving crafts for kids that aren’t just turkeys! They are still just as fun, but without the birds involved.
