• Use the activity pages as Thanksgiving place settings: If you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner at your house, print out the activity pages and use them as placemats or table settings at the kids’ table. Add some crayons to the centerpiece and let your kids work on these activity pages while everyone eats dinner or enjoys their pumpkin pie at dessert.
