Free Thanksgiving Mindfulness Activity for Kids

This Thanksgiving Mindfulness Tracing printable gives children four different paths to slowly follow from a woodland animal to a festive Thanksgiving item.

The playful fox, owl, hedgehog, and squirrel make this Thanksgiving mindfulness activity inviting for younger children while keeping the task simple and easy to understand.
