Having your kiddos put on a Thanksgiving Play is a wonderful way to spark their creativity and keep them busy! You can have them write a short skit themselves or you can use one of the links below to get inspiration.
Here is a throwback picture of my daughters dressed up for Thanksgiving plays…

If your kiddos don’t feel like putting on a play themselves, they might be interested in doll play. Consider having them create a play for their dolls.
These beautiful pilgrim and Native American doll outfits are from the Neat and Cheap Doll Outlet.

Craft on!
Great post.
