We love a good festive activity around our house. As the holiday season is approaching I wanted to create a few more easy crafts to do this fall. This free Thanksgiving hat was a perfect fit (and such a fun way to welcome Thanksgiving)! It would also be a great activity to pass some time on Thanksgiving Day after a big Thanksgiving feast. You could even have the whole family create a headband and then see all of the creative ideas.

This thanksgiving craft is a a great way to work on fine motor skills with kids. The cutting, coloring and gluing are all great ways to build up hand strength for little hands and kids have a blast doing it. It is so fun to see the fun hats that kids come up with. My kids were so proud of their own hats they made. Bonus, this craft takes incredibly simple materials, has minimal prep work and doesn’t use paint so clean up is easy peasy!
