Last month, I made a post about inclusive family activities that you can do for Halloween that can work for the whole family. It was so fun that I decided to do one for Thanksgiving. So here are some things you can do together with people of all different levels of ability.
The National Dog Show
This is my personal favorite part of Thanksgiving, the National Dog Show is a great educational activity for the whole family- and there’s dogs! What’s more to like? It airs on NBC and Peacock after the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade.
Thanksgiving Crafts
There are a lot of Thanksgiving crafts that you can do with the whole family. These can be as messy or as neat as you want. I always like to use Pinterest for research, as I mentioned in my Halloween post. There are plenty of things you can do like painting pinecone, hand turkeys, and other great ideas.
Gratitude Activities
This is kind of connected to crafts (I’ve seen gratitude garlands), but I think this is something that’s pretty unique to Thanksgiving and can take many forms. This also is not limited by people’s age or ability, which is one thing that I look for in family holiday activities. If you would like to see more ideas about gratitude activities, let me know down below.
Stay tuned for tomorrow and our next family caregiver topic!
