Thanksgiving Drawing Ideas for kids

“I am thankful for orange juice”.

That was what M-Woww added to our Thankful turkey last year. She was three years old at the time, but luckily this year she mentioned family before naming her favorite drink.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of the year to reflect and model for our children all our family’s blessings.

My children are still young so we spend most of November talking about what thankful and gratitude means to us.

The “print and draw” creative prompts below make it easy to for you to print the drawing prompt and your child can draw what they are thankful for while using their imagination and creative thinking skills.
