Thanksgiving Writing Crafts | 12 Cut-and-Paste Crafts and Writing Prompts

Pair November writing with a craft children can color, cut, and assemble. Students talk through an idea, write on a half-page frame, and attach it beneath a finished craft for a classroom display or a take-home project.

This 42-page US Letter PDF includes twelve black-line craft templates with separate pieces and a small color assembly example on each craft page. Each topic has two writing-paper choices: primary handwriting guides with a dashed middle line and wide single lines. The writing sheets print two matching frames per page. The set also includes Australian spelling options for the favourite-food prompt, open-topic writing paper, and teacher directions.

Writing topics include a pet turkey, gratitude, a favorite meal, dinner guests, decorations, warm bread, a basket of corn, pumpkin parts, a pumpkin patch, pumpkin pie, and a warm pumpkin drink. Prompts give kindergarten, first-grade, and second-grade writers practice with description, opinion, imagination, and sequencing.

Print at actual size and set out crayons, scissors, glue, and construction paper. Choose one topic and one type of writing line. Have children cut around the solid craft outlines and glue the pieces in letter order, then attach the finished writing frame.
