Standing Tree Of Thanks Craft Kit
Thanksgiving Wreath
The “Thanksgiving Wreath” is another fun craft that is based on the same concept as the “Tree of Thanks”; only the “fall” leaves that are included in the craft kit that you will normally purchase to create the wreath will form in a circular motion in order to hang the completed craft like a standard wreath. Children can simply write what they feel that they can be thankful for this season. Once all of the leaves have been written on, you can then assist them in the process of making the pieces stick together. Once this is done, you simply attach some yarn to the back side so that it can be displayed. If you like, you can even put a piece of backing in the center of the wreath and place a picture of the child on it so that it can be displayed with pride!

Native American Headband Craft KitsThanksgiving Bead Necklaces
If you have a daughter, or a group of kids that you work with that are girls, they may enjoy the pleasure of creating Thanksgiving bead necklaces. You can find beads that look like pumpkins, leaves, corn on the cob, Native American headdresses, Pilgrim hats, and more in today’s arts and crafts department of any department store like Wal-Mart and even on various websites that sell crafts and similar items on the internet! Children can take the beads and small pieces of yarn or necklace cord and create Thanksgiving necklaces that can be worn by them, or created for family members! This can be a great craft for boys too! They can create their own, unique necklaces, or provide them to family members as a way to express their thanks for that person this Thanksgiving!
Beaded Thanksgiving Necklace Craft KitWhat are some easy Thanksgiving crafts for kids of all ages?
Three that work across age groups: the Tree of Thanks (a foam kit with fall-colored leaves children write their blessings on), a Thanksgiving Wreath (same concept but the leaves form a circle you can hang on the door, with an optional photo of the child in the center), and Native American Headbands (foam craft kits that hold up to active play far better than paper versions). All three are available as ready-made kits, making setup simple for parents and teachers.
How do you make a Tree of Thanks for Thanksgiving?
Purchase a foam Tree of Thanks kit from a craft or party supply store — it typically comes with a tree base and several fall-colored leaves plus enough pieces for a small group. Give each child a marker and ask them to write something they are thankful for on each leaf, then attach the leaves to the tree. It’s suitable for preschool age and up, keeps the holiday’s spirit of gratitude front and center, and makes a keepsake the family can display year after year.
What is a good Thanksgiving craft kids can make as a gift for family members?
Thanksgiving bead necklaces are a wonderful option. Look in the craft aisle of most department stores for seasonal beads shaped like pumpkins, leaves, corn, Pilgrim hats, or Native American headdresses. Children string them onto yarn or necklace cord to make their own design — or create one to give to a grandparent or sibling as a personal Thanksgiving token. Boys and girls alike can enjoy this project, and the finished necklace can be worn on Thanksgiving Day.
Where can I find Thanksgiving craft kits for kids?
The article specifically mentions Oriental Trading as a reliable source for holiday craft kits including the Tree of Thanks, Native American Headband kits, and beaded necklace kits. Most large department stores like Walmart also stock seasonal craft supplies in their arts and crafts aisle each fall. Online retailers carry a wide variety of foam kits, bead assortments, and holiday craft packs that can be ordered ahead of the holiday.
