A Little History to Get Into the Holiday Spirit
While we like to celebrate with food and fun. But Thanksgiving is not just about turkey and pumpkin pie; it’s a holiday steeped in history.
The first Thanksgiving was celebrated back in 1621 when English Pilgrims and Native Americans shared a feast in Plymouth, Massachusetts. It was a time of unity and gratitude, themes that still ring true today.
At a time when our nation is divided and people often don’t get along, we need to take every opportunity to teach our kids lessons about grace and gratitude.
Thanksgiving is the introduction to the holiday season. Use the time to get kids in the holiday spirit and a giving mood!
Now, imagine how much fun your child will have coloring in a scene from that first Thanksgiving.
Picture them filling in vibrant colors on a page featuring Pilgrims and Native Americans sharing a meal.
Not only will they be having fun, but they’ll also be learning about a significant moment in American history!
These free printable pilgrim coloring pages help you include kids of all ages in some fun Thanksgiving activities.
