You can print any of the pages or color pages online using digital crayons, pencils, and markers. Besides coloring turkeys, people, and food, kids can draw faces, create Thanksgiving cards and place settings, and write Thanksgiving messages. They can also cut, color, and assemble a paper turkey. The crafts pages show kids how to make paper cup Pilgrims and turkeys, handprint turkeys, a harvest basket, a salt dough apple wreath, and a Thanksgiving tree. The printable pages include drawing lessons, acrostic puzzles, mazes, word searches, word scrambles, stationery for writing notes and letters, and scrapbook paper designs. Two of the models are black and white, which isn’t a huge deal, but they might be a bit more durable if you didn’t need to color them with crayons, colored pencils, or markers. Still, it’s a fun project and should keep kids busy for at least five minutes. For younger kids, the worksheets include counting practice, same/different, and word-picture matches. For older kids, the worksheets include word scrambles, word searches, missing letters, a Thanksgiving decoder puzzle, and addition and subtraction exercises. There are 22 worksheets in all. The site includes several Thanksgiving-themed lined journal pages that kids can use to start or maintain a journal or write stories. You’ll also find a printable guide to making a box to hold nuts or small candies, printable word search and word scramble puzzles, and printable activity cards. There are three Thanksgiving-related spelling worksheets for second graders that challenge them to unscramble words and sort them alphabetically. Plus, you’ll find a Thanksgiving crossword puzzle, word search, and crypto-code riddle. There’s also a Thanksgiving Bingo game and instructions for cutting out and assembling a Thanksgiving diorama. Each worksheet has a lighthearted illustration that lessens the stress of dealing with math, even if just a bit. The Kidzone website also has puzzles, coloring pages, and other printables for kids of all ages.
