6 Thanksgiving Activities and Crafts that are Fun For The Whole Family

I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is two days away. It really feels like this year has just started and now I am thawing a turkey and getting ready to cook the biggest family dinner of the year.

NOTE: If you have not removed your turkey from the freezer, now is the time to do so.

After the turkey is removed from the freezer, it is time for family fun! With everyone coming together to chat and hang out, it can be beneficial to have a few activates for the younger audience or even the adult audience. This is where Pinterest shines. There are so many activities, printables, crafts, and more featured in the database, I like to go and search for some creative ideas. I found six that I think will be the most fun for the family especially since they require very little to make or do.

Follow the list below to find some of the activities my family will be trying throughout the thanksgiving holiday.

  1. Beaded Pipe Cleaner Indian Corn by One Little Project
Picture from https://onelittleproject.com/beaded-pipe-cleaner-indian-corn/

With a few pony beads and some pipe cleaners (all which can be found at a local dollar store) we can create adorable beaded Indian Corn. Simply take 4 pipe cleaners twist them together in the center, add 15 pony beads in fall colors to each strand and twist the top together.

2. Painted Pinecone Turkeys by Live Craft Eat

Picture from https://www.livecrafteat.com/craft/painted-pinecone-turkeys-thanksgiving-craft-for-kids/

This craft is fun because it gets the family outside and enjoying nature. Have an activity where everyone has to find their own pinecone. Then, once everyone is inside and relaxing, they can paint and create their own turkey in fantastic fall colors. Add the embellishments of googly eyes and a beak, and the turkey is complete.

3. Toilet Paper Roll Turkey from The Best Ideas For Kids

Image from https://www.thebestideasforkids.com/toilet-paper-roll-turkey

After the toilet paper shortage of 2020, I am sure many of us are happy to have a few empty rolls laying around the house. Well it is time to use them in the ultimate Thanksgiving craft, by making a Toilet Paper Roll Turkey. Use construction paper for the tail and add a couple googly eyes and it is ready to share the beautiful messages of Thanksgiving.

4. Paper Plate Turkey Wreath by The Resourceful Mama

Image from https://www.theresourcefulmama.com/paper-plate-turkey-wreath-craft/

By cutting a whole in a paper plate, wrapping strips of construction paper and adding pipe cleaners for feet, each family member can create their own unique Paper Plate Turkey Wreath to display on their bedroom door. Of course, one must add googly eyes for the added awesome effect.

5. Free Printable Color By Number Thanksgiving Pages by I Am Style-ish

Image from https://www.iamstyle-ish.com/2021/09/free-color-by-number-thanksgiving-printables.html

This craft is so easy! Grab some crayons, print the pages, and let the fun begin! Each number corresponds to a color or get creative and make your own color code!

6. Turkey Corner Bookmark by The Printables Fairy

Image from https://www.printablesfairy.com/turkey-corner-bookmark/

I am not sure how many kids or adults actually read paper books anymore, but this craft was too cute to pass up. It is a corner bookmark that looks like a turkey. Instead of folding corners, using receipts, or trying to find a suitable page saver, just pop a turkey in the corner and never lose your spot again. Kids and adults can use these. Simply print the template, fold to create, and start saving your place in the amazing book world.

These are the six crafts I found absolutely adorable and fun. Share some of your favorite Thanksgiving crafts in the comments below.!

Celebrate Christmas With Nick Jr.: The Night Before Christmas Collection and a Wonderful Hot Chocolate Bomb Recipe

Fans can celebrate the holidays this year with a collection of holiday themed shows from Nickelodeons top animated specials including Blue’s Clues and You, Baby Shark’s Big Show, PAW Patrol, Bubble Guppies, and Blaze and the Monster Machines! From saving Mayor Humdinger and helping Santa save Christmas to decorating the tree with Steve, everyone will celebrate a night full of Christmas traditions! Nick Jr.: The Night Before Christmas is now available on DVD from Paramount Home Entertainment and Nickelodeon Home Entertainment for the suggested retail price of $10.99, just in time for holiday gifting!

I received the opportunity to review the DVD and here is what I thought.

Nick Jr.: The Night Before Christmas contains five episodes from five different Nick Jr series. Fans of PAW Patrol, Baby Shark, Blaze and the Monster Machines, Bubble Guppies, and Blue’s Clues and You! will love to watch as Christmas is saved, traditions are honored, and even help some of their favorite characters decorate for Christmas. It’s almost two hours of Christmas fun!

The episodes included in the DVD are:

  • PAW Patrol: Pups Save a Bah Humdinger
  • Baby Shark’s Big Show!: All I Want for Fishmas
  • Blue’s Clues & You!: Blue’s Night Before Christmas
  • Bubble Guppies: The Guppies Save Christmas!
  • Blaze and the Monster Machines: Snow Day Showdown

Our favorite episodes from this collection are the first three.

My family loves PAW Patrol, so watching Ryder and the pups save Christmas after Mayor Humdinger does his dastardly deed of removing Adventure Bay from Santa’s list is a must. Honestly, if he wanted to be on the nice list, Humdinger could have simply been nice. Thankfully, Santa is able to get the right list for his deliveries and the PAW Patrol even helps him deliver to all of their friends. Even Humdinger atones for his actions. It just goes to show, it is never too late to do the right thing.

Baby Shark’s Big Show!: All I Want for Fishmas is about wanting the top toy of the season, Burpin’ Bubbz. But when Santa Jaws goes missing, the dreams of owning such a fantastic toy may sink. Baby and William set off to find Santa Jaws and save Christmas.

Blue’s Clues & You!: Blue’s Night Before Christmas we discover what Blue wants for Christmas. Her wish is shared with 3 very special clues. This episode even includes a special guest, STEVE! He wears a Santa hat and joins Josh and Blue in their Holiday fun.

This Christmas episode collection is so much fun and very festive. All the little Nick Jr fans will love it! Nick Jr.: The Night Before Christmas is well worth the purchase and fun for the whole family. One day I hope they will attach a fun little yule log featuring all the characters from their top shows doing fun little activities as the fire glows.

PAW Patrol The Movie Is Much More Than a Simple Rescue

PAW Patrol has released their first full length movie on the big screen, and fans are loving it! In this next level adventure The PAW Patrol crew must leave Adventure Bay in order to save Adventure City from the notorious Mayor Humdinger, who, once again, is causing chaos wherever he goes. PAW Patrol: The Movie was released on Blu-ray & DVD November 2, PAW-fectly timed for Thanksgiving family viewing or holiday gift-giving..

PAW patrol, is a wonderful series, so when I received the opportunity to review the movie, I jumped at the chance!

PAW patrol: The Movie has everything we fans love about the series. The movie includes the pups who ride out to save their friends and neighbors from sticky situations,, the constant theme of teamwork, and we get to see a group become superheroes and save the day using vehicles and tech.

Unlike the series, PAW Patrol: The Movie is a bit more fast paced. In the series, we enjoy the thought process and the more calming effect as the pups work together to save the day in a 15-30 minute episode. The Movie takes adventure to the next level as the pups race around to save Adventure City with their new friend Liberty. This fast pace adaptation makes PAW Patrol: The Movie feel like it belongs on the big screen along with the other recent superhero movies. I believe this was done to keep the audience involved with the film. I think a slow paced hour and a half movie would have been hard for a preschooler to get through.

While the fast pace is nice and engaging, I think the movie really takes off as we learn more about our beloved characters and their past. This movie has a side focus on Chase and his life before he was found by Ryder. Chase had a tough life in the city and he was afraid to return because of his bad memories. This sub-plot leads to a wonderful lesson in empathy, that caring for our friends and recognizing their fear and pain is important. However, the lesson doesn’t end there! This plot continues as we take a journey with Chase and his ability to accept what happened, grow from it, and become stronger. Chase realizes that he was strong for getting through what he had to endure and that being a hero doesn’t mean the absence of fear, but working through it.

I have to take this moment and say, way to go Nickelodeon! So many junior shows are a quick zoom in, save, and zoom out. We hardly get to see the development and growth of characters as a hero faces unpleasant memories and pushes through them with the help of his friends and family. What is even more amazing is that Chase learns to change his outlook on his experience so that he could see just how brave he was and use the new-found strength for the tasks he is facing today. This made the movie tops on my list and I will watch it a couple zillion times.

Along with an epic movie, the Blu-Ray and Digital Copy comes with some epic Bonus features that preschoolers will love to watch such as Chase showing us the new headquarters and gadgets, watch some Adventure City news, music videos, and even a few extra episodes!

  • PAW PATROL: THE MOVIE Digital Bonus Content
    • A Totally PAW-some Team— Join Chase on an off-leash adventure at the brand-new Adventure City headquarters and discover the pups’ upgraded high-tech gadgets and vehicles!
    • ACN: Adventure City News Reports with Marty Muckraker— Become a citizen of Adventure City as you watch the exciting news reports by the city’s #1 news source, gossip columnist, and beat reporter all rolled into one…Marty Muckraker!
    • PAW Patrol: The Movie Lyric Video (Reimagined Theme) – Whether you have four legs or two, howl along with the PAW Patrol gang in this fun and goofy lyric video! An all-new reimagined theme song! (English Only)
    • PAW Patrol Bonus Episodes
      • Pups and Katie Stop the Barking Kitty Crew!
      • Pups vs. a Neon Humdinger
      • Pups Stop an Xtreme Shark –Never-Before-Seen!
      • Blaze and the Monster Machines Bonus Episode
      • The Great Pizza Race—Never-Before-Seen!
  • PAW PATROL: THE MOVIE Blu-ray Bonus Content
    • A Totally PAW-some Team
    • ACN: Adventure City News Reports with Marty Muckraker
    • PAW Patrol: The Movie Lyric Video (Reimagined Theme) – English Only

With everything we have come to love about PAW Patrol, the wonderful character development, and awesome extras, I highly recommend PAW Patrol: The Movie to all the PAW Patrol fans and soon-to-be new PAW Patrol fans out there. It hits every chord with the young fandom.
