Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday that points us once again to the things that truly matter – God, family, and friends. It’s a fun time of year to explore the Pilgrims, traditions, and food with children. I hope these posts, printables, and books about Thanksgiving will give you lots of ideas as you prepare your Thanksgiving learning plans.




Thanksgiving Inspiration for Families

I believe keeping things simple is often the best choice for families. The ideas I share in these posts focus on keeping things simple, using materials you probably already have in your house, and focusing on the important aspects of the Thanksgiving holiday.

    Hi Sallie, I am immersed in your products and so excited to send items to my granddaughter whom I have not seen since February. She and I both loved the butterfly fun fact cards. Today I have copied the Thanksgiving fun fact cards and will send them to her along with a biography of Sarah Hale, the lady whose efforts to have a national Thanksgiving holiday were honored by President Lincoln. Unfortunately, I have found two of your cards’ facts misleading. Lincoln made Thanksgiving a national holiday with a proclamation, and later FDR changed the date for two years and then switched it back to the fourth Thursday in November. I have tried to determine if Lincoln’s proclamation was the fourth or the last Thursday of the month and if they are one in the same. The other fact is that Harry Truman did not pardon a turkey. The Truman Library officially denies that. I think I read either Kennedy or Bush started that tradition. It is surprising how many of our Thanksgiving historic ideas are questioned. Some say first Thanksgiving was in Florida. I can’t even go there. Thanks for all your ideas and hard work.
