Going Down Memory Lane as a kid on Thanksgiving..
Thanksgiving was so much fun as a kid. After all, October had just passed and December was coming!
So many fun activities and crafts were going on and it was truly a time to be treasured!
As mentioned in our 70+ Halloween Activities post, I remember a lot of glue, construction paper and markers laid out on the table for creative decorations and inspiring poetry.
I really enjoy reliving it through the eyes of my daughters by presenting them with fun and simple Thanksgiving activities and crafts by way of our own creativeness as well as the creativeness of a few of my favorite bloggers!
