With Thanksgiving right around the corner, chances are you are getting ready for a day of feasting and family festivities. If you're hosting a large group, it's likely to get quite hectic in the kitchen, which is why we put together a list of fun and free Thanksgiving activities for kids with some Thanksgiving printable activities to keep them engaged while you’re busy with preparations. With these free Thanksgiving printables and our crafty tips, you can be sure to keep your stress level low and your kids happy!

To get started, fire up your Canon MegaTank PIXMA G3270 Wireless¹ All-in-One Printer or your Canon PIXMA TS7720 Wireless¹ Home All-in-One Printer, and prep all of the printable Thanksgiving crafts ahead of the big day. You’ve got a lot of paper choices. We love using Canon 8.5x11 Double Sided Matte Photo Paper for Thanksgiving crafts for kids, because it’s sturdy and great for displaying the holiday art.

From turkeys to scarecrows, there are so many great characters to bring to life with fun Thanksgiving crafts. Design and draw your own puppets by hand, or use your Canon PIXMA TS7720 Wireless¹ Home All-in-One Printer to print out these Thanksgiving printables on some strong double-sided matte photo paper. Cut your puppets out and glue them to colorful popsicle sticks. Consider prepping your puppets a day or two before the Thanksgiving date. Perfect for kids of all ages, a Thanksgiving-themed puppet show is a great way to kick off the festivities!

Your kids have probably learned all about the Pilgrims and Native Americans in school. Have them show off their acting skills and bring the story of the holiday to life with festive DIY Thanksgiving costumes. Pull together a costume in minutes using your Canon MegaTank PIXMA G3270 Wireless¹ All-in-One Printer and our Thanksgiving printables, which include a Pilgrim hat and shoe buckle, plus Native American feathers. As for the skit itself, leave the script and stage direction up to your kids. Who knows? You may even be surprised by how much more they know about the holiday than you do! Of course, once the skit is over, the fun doesn’t have to end.

Now that they’re all dressed up, challenge them to come up with their own Thanksgiving games with our Thanksgiving activity sheets. Maybe they can even come up with new Thanksgiving family games so everyone can join in!

One of our go-to Thanksgiving crafts for kids, coloring is always a great way to keep your kids happily entertained. Instead of their usual coloring books, why not set them up with these free Thanksgiving coloring sheets – and plenty of markers and crayons, of course! Pumpkins, corn stalks, squash, apple pies and cornucopias are all timeless images for Thanksgiving coloring. Print out a few copies of this giant Thanksgiving coloring page. Your kids can team up on one print-out, or they can each tackle their own. Either way, they'll have a blast coloring by numbers.

No matter which of these Thanksgiving activity pages and Thanksgiving game ideas you choose, be sure to use your PIXMA All-In-One printer to get the party started. Happy holidays!
