Thanksgiving Placemats Craft I Am Thankful Printable Gratitude Activity for Kids

Description

Looking for a festive and low-prep Thanksgiving activity that combines creativity and writing? This Thanksgiving Placemats Craft I Am Thankful resource is the perfect addition to your November classroom fun! Designed especially for preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary students, this engaging activity allows learners to color, cut, and create their own Thanksgiving placemat while also practicing fine motor skills and reflective writing. Additionally, the simple, print-and-go format makes it easy for teachers to set up, and the built-in gratitude prompts help students think meaningfully about what they’re thankful for. Altogether, it’s a fun, purposeful craft that brings creativity and thankfulness together in one memorable Thanksgiving activity.

What’s Included:

• 5 Placemat templates with fun, decorative borders
• 5 Sets of cut-and-color decorations for the placemat including plates, silverware, napkins and Thanksgiving food items
• A mini “side plate” writing prompt (e.g., “I’m thankful for…”)
• Space on each placemat for child’s name, age, and date

How It Works:

1. Students choose a placemat template and a decoration set.
2. They color and cut out their plate, napkin, silverware, and Thanksgiving foods.
3. Glue the pieces onto the placemat to “set the table.”
4. Complete the writing prompt on the side plate.
5. Optional: laminate the finished placemats for a keepsake parents will love!

Perfect for:
