Look no further! Here is the preschooler approved breakdown of what happened on that day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When retelling the story of Thanksgiving to your preschoolers, there are tons of different options to use and roads to take. Depending on the needs and wants of your child (or their attention span), you can use all sorts of festive ideas to elaborate on how exactly that turkey landed on that table.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use all the books, movies, dinner table conversations, or comfy time on the couch you feel necessary to depict the story. There are many different variations with more or less colorful details, but here is the quick preschooler-friendly version:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><b style=\"letter-spacing: 0.3px\">When the Pilgrims came to America, they worked hard to make a life for themselves. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When retelling the story, establish values that your preschooler can work to understand and relate to in their own lives.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><b style=\"letter-spacing: 0.3px\">They planted food, met the Native Americans, and when the harvest came, they celebrated. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tell it simply. They worked hard, made friends, and enjoyed the reward of their labor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><b style=\"letter-spacing: 0.3px\">The Pilgrims celebrated their hard work and new friendships. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make the story relatable to where your child can understand by including relationships with others.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><b style=\"letter-spacing: 0.3px\">The Pilgrims gave thanks for what they had. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gratitude is one of the most important characteristics of the Pilgrims\u2019 journey!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep in mind- it doesn\u2019t take the world\u2019s best storyteller to tell the story of Thanksgiving. Add a little creativity, some hard work, and a lot of gratitude and you\u2019re set&#8211;like the Mayflower across the Atlantic!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed this blog and want to read more, click below for our blog from last month!<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/kings-river\/2020\/10\/06\/halloween-activities-for-preschoolers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Halloween Activities for Preschoolers<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to learn more about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/kings-river\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Kings River<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in Humble, Texas?
