✂️ HOW TO USE

PRINT → SCRUNCH → GLUE → CREATE!

Print a template and provide children with colorful tissue paper and glue.

Children can tear tissue paper into manageable pieces, then scrunch, crumple, roll, or fold the tissue paper before gluing it onto the picture. They can completely fill the design or combine tissue paper with crayons, markers, or colored pencils.

Traditional Thanksgiving and fall colors such as orange, brown, yellow, red, green, gold, cream, and tan work beautifully, but children can also choose their own color combinations.

🖐️ CREATIVE FINE MOTOR FUN

Working with small pieces of tissue paper provides children with opportunities to practice:

• Fine motor movements
• Finger and hand control
• Pincer grasp
• Hand-eye coordination
• Bilateral hand use
• Gluing and placement
• Color recognition
• Creative decision-making
• Following a simple sequence
• Independent work
• Artistic expression

Scrunching tissue paper also creates a raised, textured effect that makes the finished artwork visually different from a standard coloring page.

🏫 EASY TO USE IN THE CLASSROOM

These printable crafts can easily be added to a Thanksgiving art center, fine motor center, November activity station, fall craft table, morning activity, independent work session, early finisher activity, or seasonal classroom lesson.

Teachers can prepare tissue paper pieces in advance for younger children or allow students to prepare and scrunch their own pieces.

They can be completed individually, in small groups, at centers, or as a whole-class Thanksgiving art project.

🍂 THANKSGIVING, FALL & HARVEST LEARNING

The designs provide several ways to connect the craft with seasonal classroom themes.

Use the Turkey during a Thanksgiving or turkey-themed unit, the Thanksgiving Dinner design when discussing Thanksgiving foods and family meals, and the Corn and Acorn during fall, autumn, or harvest lessons.

This makes the resource useful throughout October and November for Thanksgiving, fall, autumn, and harvest activities.

🦃 THANKSGIVING PARTY & CRAFT STATION

Create an easy Thanksgiving craft station by setting out the printable pages with bowls or trays of colorful tissue paper and glue.

Children can choose their favorite design and create their artwork independently. This works well for Thanksgiving classroom parties, preschool celebrations, kindergarten craft days, Friendsgiving activities, homeschool groups, daycare activities, and November events.

🏫 DISPLAY THE FINISHED ARTWORK

Finished tissue paper projects can become colorful seasonal decorations.

Use children’s completed artwork for a Thanksgiving bulletin board, fall bulletin board, November classroom display, hallway display, classroom wall, preschool art display, kindergarten display, or Thanksgiving party decoration.

The textured tissue paper gives each finished project a bright, handmade appearance, and because children choose their own colors and placement, every finished craft can look different.
