Gobble, gobble! It’s that time of year – Thanksgiving! Time to teach your preschooler about Thanksgiving and all of the fun and food that comes along with the holiday. Your preschooler will have a blast learning about the history and the traditions that come with Turkey Day!
The True Meaning of Thanksgiving
Even though delicious cranberry sauce and green bean casserole are usually the talk of the table on Thanksgiving, it is important to teach your preschooler the meaning behind Thanksgiving. Read them a children’s book focused around Thanksgiving and discuss how a fall harvest celebration brought together Pilgrims and Native Americans. You can also print out coloring pages that feature cute Thanksgiving images. Your child will enjoy learning about this special holiday by having interactive activities.
Be Thankful
With Black Friday and Christmas right around the corner, we can get our minds fixated on the items we want rather than what we already have. Sit down with your preschooler and make a “hand turkey”. Trace their little hands on construction paper, then cut it out and transform it into a turkey! On each construction paper finger, write something that your child is thankful for. Teach your child the importance of thankfulness early!
Let’s Feast!
Have fun in the kitchen with your kiddo this Thanksgiving! Have your little one help make some of the iconic Thanksgiving dishes such as mashed potatoes, casseroles, and pies. He or she can help by simply pouring ingredients into a bowl. They can even help decorate the pies! Your preschooler will be so proud of themselves when they know that they contributed to the wonderful feast. Make sure that you keep your eyes on your child in the kitchen at all times. Please don’t risk having your child accidentally burn themselves or drop something breakable.
Do you suddenly have a craving for turkey? Have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!
