This activity is ideal for classrooms or as a family bonding moment that doesn’t involve fighting over the remote.

This Thanksgiving activity encourages kids to think about how they can lend a hand, without accidentally dropping the turkey. Writing and drawing come together in this heartwarming and hilarious project that showcases the many ways we can help others during the holiday season. First, kids will reflect on all the ways they’ve been helpful, or could be helpful, this Thanksgiving. Will they set the table without sneak-eating the rolls? Offer to do the dishes instead of disappearing into a pumpkin pie coma? Or maybe their “helping hands” involve cheering up a cranky relative with a joke about turkeys crossing the road. Whatever their helping superpower, it’s time to put it into words. Next, the artistic fun begins! Kids will draw their very own “helping hands,” complete with doodles of their Thanksgiving good deeds. Add in some colorful crayons, markers, or glitter (if you dare), and these hands will be ready to hang on the fridge, the classroom wall, or right next to the dessert table for everyone to admire. Perfect for inspiring gratitude, creativity, and just a touch of turkey humor, this activity is all about making Thanksgiving more special, one helping hand at a time! Enjoy!

Get ready to connect the dots —and maybe a few spooky surprises, with the Halloween Follow the Dots activity! It’s the perfect way to keep little goblins and ghouls entertained while sneaking in some fine motor skills and a bit of magical number magic. Think of it as a treasure map, but instead of X marking the spot, you’re following numbered dots to reveal a Halloween masterpiece. Spoiler: there’s probably a ghost or pumpkin lurking in there somewhere. As you trace from dot to dot, the picture will slowly come to life, kind of like watching a ghost materialize but without the creepy sound effects. You might start with a random collection of dots and think, “What on Earth is this going to be?” But don’t worry, by the time you hit that last number, you’ll have a spooky scene worthy of a spot on the fridge. And here’s the best part: no artistic talent is required! Even if your usual Halloween drawings look more like mutant potatoes than jack-o’-lanterns, this dot-to-dot guarantees a picture that actually looks like what it’s supposed to be. Perfect for Halloween fun in the classroom or at home, it’s a sneaky way to mix learning with some good old-fashioned spooky fun. Just grab a pencil, follow the dots, and let the magic unfold! Pdf file includes 5 pages. Enjoy!
