Thanksgiving games, activities and recipes!

In 1620, the Pilgrims sailed on a ship called the Mayflower and arrived at Plymouth Rock to find what they called "The New World".

It's so important to teach the young children you care for what Thanksgiving is and how to appreciate it. For an easy-to-understand explanation of Thanksgiving that you can share with the kids, read The History of Thanksgiving.

I'm sharing a fun game to play and a great craft to make with the kids. And more!

Handprint Turkey

I, personally, don't think you can have too many handprint projects. I love to look at those chubby little hands! This Handprint Turkey is a great way to preserve the memories of when the children are young.

Thanksgiving e-Book

If you are the one is charge of planning and cooking the Thanksgiving feast, then I have discovered the e-Book for you!

It even provides you with activities to keep the kids busy while you're preparing the meal. The price is definitely worth the information you receive.

Win a Designer Handbag

I just had to share this contest that I found. Who wouldn't want to win a free handbag, right? Maybe a nice Christmas present to yourself.

The women who are putting this contest on are Marcia and Kathy. And although I'd like to be that Marcia and have access to all these beautiful bags, it unfortunately is not me. I will be entering the contest though!
