Thanksgiving Activities for Children

Thanksgiving is only a week away in our house, as there is no school three days prior to the actual day. So, we celebrate with doctor appointments, teacher conferences, and cleaning the house. This year, however, we will also be packing and preparing for a wonderful trip to Guatemala to adopt our second son. We are truly and wonderfully thankful for that experience, for him, his birth family, and his foster family.

During those three days prior to Thanksgiving AJ, my oldest, and I will be decorating the house with wonder for him (nothing too overstimulating of course). And, most of it is for AJ’s enjoyment and fascination, as he loves crafts and decorations. Sometimes I think he might become an artist because he is wickedly creative.

As for every holiday here at One Book, we are offering up a listing of the best arts and craft, activities, and misc. things to do with kids.

However, we also have the BEST BOOKS (of course) over in our PAGES section.  That is where you will find all the new links to our book listings, as we are reorganizing the site to make it easier for you to find our book lists. So, make sure you check out the BEST THANKSGIVNG BOOKS FOR KIDS and make sure you order a few too! You still have time! I know AMAZON ships speedy quick when they want to!
