20 Thanksgiving Turkey Themed Kids Crafts

September 28, by arabella.

Thanksgiving, as it is observed in the United States, is traditionally marked with a plentiful dinner. Bread stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and, of course, turkey are all traditional foods. How did turkey come to be the focal point of this meal?

It is usually considered that today’s Thanksgiving menu evolved from an event known as the “first Thanksgiving.” In late 1621, there is evidence of a dinner shared by Pilgrim settlers and Wampanoag people at Plymouth colony (in what is now Massachusetts). However, there is no evidence that turkey was served. The Wampanoag brought deer for meat, while the Pilgrims provided wild “fowl.” That “bird” could have been turkeys, which were indigenous to the area, but historians believe it was most likely ducks.

So how exactly did the symbol of Thanksgiving become turkeys? Well, there could be several reasons. As it became an official holiday, the story of the “first Thanksgiving” was retold to become more interesting. It could also be due to the fact turkeys were an affordable meat to eat at the time. However turkeys and Thanksgiving came to be, celebrate it with these 20 clever crafts!
