Thanksgiving turkey reflection craft activity I am thankful gratitude craftivity

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on what we are grateful for. Help your students to do this with this fun and easy thankful turkey activity. This printable craftivity encourages children to think about 4 things they are grateful for.

Students use the 4 boxes on the template to write and draw the things they are thankful for. Once completed, they cut out the template and fold using the guide provided. They will LOVE opening their foldout to show what they have written inside, then closing it to show the picture of the turkey.

Benefits of this resource:

• Low prep! Just print the templates you need.
• Cutting and folding will give your Kindergarten and first grade students the opportunity to practice their fine motor skills.
• Easy cut versions to allow for some differentiation
• Use as a way for students to practice speaking and listening skills by sharing their foldout contents with each other.
