November is the time of turkeys, colorful leaves, and family gatherings.
When it comes to kids crafts, November is also the time for fun Thanksgiving craft activities for kids.
Why are crafts for kids important?
Crafting allows kids to express themselves. They learn it’s okay to make mistakes and to experiment with ideas.
Doing crafts also helps to build self confidence. And, on top of all that, craft time is fun!
