    Thanksgiving Day Activities for Kids

    Somehow between the time the parade ends and when we all gather together to give thanks, there is entirely TOO MUCH time for the kids to get in trouble. Or at least that’s how it is in my house! If your kids behave perfectly on holidays when all of the family is together, please don’t tell me. I really don’t want to know! 🙂 While I don’t have a miracle cure for the kid-crazies, I have found that having a bag of ideas and supplies ready to go is a huge sanity saver. Here are some of my favorite quick and easy Thanksgiving Day Activities for Kids.
