I’ve been sick this weekend and now you are getting benefits from my downtime. I have been surfing the web today for ideas for children’s Thanksgiving crafts and activites. Below I have provided you with links for 10 sites that I think you will find very beneficial. I have bookmarked them all under my favorites.

Annie’s Home Page – coloring pages, stories, games, links to other sites, and craft ideas. Annie linked me to some other great sites.

Enchanted Learning – crafts, decorations, printouts, worksheets, and activities. Cute craft ideas. I used one them with my 4 year old preschool class last week.

DLTK’s Growing Together – craft ideas, templates, songs and poems, book suggestions, printables, games, recipes, worksheets, and more.

Kaboose/Kids Domain – thanksgiving place holders, corn collage, turkey gloves, place mats, and more! (Also fall crafts, fall coloring pages, Thanksgiving coloring pages, online games,and more! They even have a section just for moms.)

Better Homes & Gardens - Thanksgiving coloring pages, homemade card ideas, making place mats and place cards, ideas for cooking with kids, and more.

Martha Stewart – ideas for the kids’ table, finger puppet favors, and place cards. This is Martha Stewart, so I’m sure there are some good recipes too.
