Why do kids need to learn about the story of Thanksgiving?
Understanding Thanksgiving gives kids context behind the traditions they see in November. It also helps build a sense of gratitude.
- History awareness: Gives them a basic understanding of early American life and traditions.
- Gratitude practice: Helps remind them to look for things they appreciate.
- Family connection: Opens the door to simple conversations about how families celebrate.
- Seasonal familiarity: Helps them connect holidays with meaningful events.

Do your kids love reading books, but just don’t have the time to read them all yourself? Grab an Audible subscription to find great audiobooks that your kids can listen to on their own. You can get up to two free audiobooks when you sign up.
If audiobooks aren’t your thing, see what cool books you can find on Kindle, and your kids will have a huge library ready at their fingertips.

Supplies Needed for the Thanksgiving Coloring Activity
- Printer (I have this one)
- Paper
- Pencil
- Pencil crayons/crayons
- Scissors
I have the HP printer 8710, but it’s not available anymore. It’s still running well for years now. Look for another HP Instant Ink-ready printer so that you can use their program to send you ink cartridges whenever your printer gets low on ink.
