Let’s get into the Thanksgiving spirit and celebrate with a great activity for kids. We have many turkey crafts and 40+ paper pate Thanksgiving craft ideas to chose from but today we’re focusing on creating a fun hat. So I’ve put together a list of the best Thanksgiving hats for kids. There are lots of turkey hats or headbands with big eyes and colorful feathers made out of handprints, real feathers or just construction paper cut by little hands. You can also go for a cute Pilgrim hat or bonnet (if you have a little girl) or even a spectacular Mayflower ship hat.
If you’re hosting the Thanksgiving dinner this year, you can plan on making one of these hats with the little ones. It will be fun to see the kids wear these festive hats throughout the night. You can do the prep work the day before and have everything ready before the guests start arriving.
Because we like simple ideas (check out our collection of 100+ easy crafts for kids), I included in this list only hats can kiddos can do with little to no help. Of course, the age of the kids has a saying in the matter. While a kindergartner may pull off on his/her own any of the Thanksgiving hats, a preschooler may need a bit of a help here and there.
Any of the hats listed below is also great classroom Thanksgiving craft to go along with the Thanksgiving school party.
