This free printable easy Thanksgiving crossword puzzle is perfect for younger children. Use it as a fun dinner table activity, to keep your kids busy while you cook, or as part of your Thanksgiving week lesson plans!

This easy Thanksgiving crossword puzzle is a picture crossword puzzle. This means the clues are images, not text-based. This makes the puzzle great for little learners who are working on their reading, writing, and spelling skills.

Don’t worry, mama – the answer key is included with this crossword puzzle so you can quickly check work or offer hints without solving the puzzle, yourself.

The crossword features 11 Thanksgiving and fall related images to identify and write into the puzzle. The illustrations are lovely digital watercolor artwork because your little one deserves nice things.

If you need a more challenging word puzzle for your older children, be sure to get this free printable Thanksgiving word search.

You can do this puzzle with a preschooler or pre-k child by having them identify the objects and writing in their answers, yourself. Early elementary students can practice their writing and spelling by filling in the squares on their own.

For repeated use, laminate the page or slip it inside a page protector. Working the same crossword multiple times may sound silly to you as an adult, but children enjoy doing the same activity several times.

We use secure page protectors placed in a 1″ three ring binder for our activity pages. Secure page protectors have a short flap you can tuck inside to keep pages from slipping out during use. It’s very convenient! This is the set we use. They’re also thicker than regular page protectors and hold up to vigorous child use:
