Thanksgiving Table

Worksheet Description

This festive worksheet, titled “Thanksgiving Feast,” invites preschoolers to create a delightful Thanksgiving dinner setting. At the top, it features an empty wooden table, ready to be set with a traditional holiday spread. Below the table, various dishes are depicted: a golden-brown turkey, a bowl of vibrant cranberry sauce, a fluffy mound of mashed potatoes, a sweet pumpkin pie, and other Thanksgiving staples, each encircled by a dashed line indicating where to cut. The task for the children is to use safety scissors to carefully cut out these mouthwatering images and then arrange them on the table, creating a feast for the eyes.

The activity is designed to cultivate fine motor skills through the act of cutting and to enhance decision-making abilities as the children decide where each dish should go on the table. It also serves as a conversation starter about traditions, family gatherings, and gratitude, aligning with the spirit of Thanksgiving. Engaging with this worksheet, young learners can explore the cultural significance of the holiday while developing practical skills and fostering a sense of community and thankfulness.
