There are so many ways to celebrate Thanksgiving! This list of simple Thanksgiving learning projects varies widely in grade level, although many can be adapted to make them appropriate for a variety of ages.

Most of these projects can be completed with simple supplies you probably already have around your home. If not, you can easily order whatever craft supplies you need from Amazon and have them delivered to your door. There is also a section with crafts that are ready-to-buy kits to make things even easier.
