Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks, being with loved ones, and of course, eating delicious food. The season is full of wonderful traditions and important lessons. These are beautifully portrayed in so many wonderful children’s books. We have had a lot of Thanksgiving themed fun over the years, so I decided to gather up some of our best Thanksgiving activities for kids, and fun seasonal books to pair with them!

The holidays are a busy time of year full of lots of fun traditions, parties and events. For us, we spend most of November and December running from event to event and marking things off on our to do list.

This year, I decided to carve out part of each day to enjoy our favorite holiday books while snuggled up together.
