Thanksgiving is the perfect time to create lasting memories with your little ones. Starting new traditions with your kids can help them connect with the holiday’s true meaning of gratitude, family, and togetherness. Here are a few simple and fun ideas to start this year:
Gratitude Jar
Every year, have each family member write down things they’re thankful for on small pieces of paper. Then, read them aloud before the big meal. It’s a wonderful way to reflect on the positive moments of the year together.
DIY Thanksgiving Craft Projects
Get crafty with the kids! Create simple DIY decorations, like handprint turkeys or paper pumpkin garlands. This is not only a fun way to get creative, but it also gives your home a festive, personalized touch.
Thanksgiving Bingo or Scavenger Hunt
Keep kids entertained while waiting for dinner with a Thanksgiving-themed bingo game or a scavenger hunt. Create a list of holiday-related items (like a pilgrim hat, an apple pie, or a cornucopia) and have them search the house or yard to find them.
Family Recipe Book
Make Thanksgiving extra special by starting a family recipe book. Have each child contribute to the book by helping in the kitchen or writing down their favorite recipe. Over the years, it will become a cherished collection of dishes passed down through the family.
Thankful Table Setting
Before the big feast, set a special “Thankful Table.” Ask each child to write down one thing they are thankful for on a small card to place at their seat. This small act helps reinforce gratitude and makes everyone feel appreciated.
These simple traditions will not only bring your family closer but also teach your kids the importance of giving thanks.
