Thanksgiving Printable Activities
Your little turkeys will love this fun Thanksgiving printable pack! Inside this 20-page freebie, you’ll find the following activities:
• 4-part puzzles: These four puzzles help little ones build their visual discrimination skills. Cut the four puzzles apart, mix up the pieces, and have your preschooler reassemble them.
• Letter T Maze: Here’s another way for your little ones to work on their visual discrimination skills as well as letter identification. Students will circle or color each letter “T” to make a path from the pilgrim girl to the turkey.
• T is for Turkey: Have preschoolers color the letter T and the turkey. Then, they can trace the word with their finger.
• ABC Matching Cards: Cut out the alphabet cards. Cut each card in half. Have students match the uppercase and lowercase letters.
• Color and Write: Students will color the turkey and write the word. Two font selections are provided.
• Dot Marker Page: This activity page helps little ones fine tune their motor skills as they use dot markers or circle stickers to fill in each circle.
• Letter Hunt: Students use a dot marker, crayon, or pencil to identify each letter T and t on the page.
• Number Tracing: Students will trace the numbers 1-10. Two font selections are provided.
• Trace the Lines: Kids will trace various lines and squiggles on this page.
• Writing Prompt: This page contains space for students to write a sentence about turkeys. Young writers can dictate their sentence to a helper.
• Count and Clip Cards: Students will count the objects on each card, and clip the correct number with a clothespin or paperclip.
