Thanksgiving is definitely a wonderful holiday; tons of tasty food, good company, and even sports on TV! And although this special American holiday is one that the whole family can be thankful for, it seems as though in today’s modern-society, that this holiday is focused more around adults and not as much around children. Enjoying festivities that adults participate in, is always nice, but am I the only one that thinks this holiday is more adult-friendly than kid-friendly?
Think about it: On Christmas or Halloween, for example, so many of the traditions, games, or activities are centered around children; but not quite as many are aimed specifically at kids when it comes to Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving Day, there’s no magical, giant Turkey handing out presents to the kids because they have been thankful all year; no one I know participates in Turkey-egg hunts; and I have never seen my neighbors hand-out candy to kids dressed up as birds because it’s Thanksgiving…. Have you?
I do think that most children really appreciate and love Thanksgiving Day, but with all the other cool, kid-obsessed holidays out there, Thanksgiving has some tough competition! Here’s an easy-fix: By creating games, activities, and special Thanksgiving traditions specifically for your children, you can create a more kid-friendly Thanksgiving holiday this year.
Creating games and crafts to keep your kids preoccupied, busy, and happy is always nice while you are busy cooking, visiting, or watching the holiday games on TV. Get your kids excited for this special day by participating in activities that match the theme of this special day! Create memories and create new holiday traditions this year!
One of the ways you can create some Thanksgiving activities for children is by using Digital Custom Brushes! Custom brushes are easy to use, and once you get into digital scrapbooking, you will absolutely love them! If you use a brush that looks more like line art (instead of more solid-looking digital brush) then you can enlarge the size of the brush, stamp it on a digital page, and then print it out for a home-
made coloring page!
