Super Simple & Frugal Thanksgiving Fun for Kids
Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that it's nice to have a few fun activities tucked away to keep your kids busy and happy.
There's usually so much to do. Cleaning and preparing for guests. Shopping for ingredients and goodies. And, of course, there's all the kitchen work!
Even if you're kids help with some of the work, you might have moments when it would be amazing to have them enjoying a screen-free activity.
Or maybe you'd just like to have a collection of fun Thanksgiving things to do with your kids?
In the past 18 years as a mom, I've learned how helpful it can be to have a stash of holiday fun activities at the ready. If your kids are like mine, the holidays create a whirlwind of excitement and energy. I like to channel all that enthusiasm into positive activities whenever I can 😉
Since my boys have had a blast with our other toilet paper roll figures (like these Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Halloween ones), I knew Thanksgiving-themed ones would be a hit.
How to Make These Thanksgiving Toilet Paper Roll Figures
These adorable Thanksgiving figures are incredibly easy to make. They are like a wrap for an empty toilet paper roll.
For this free printable set, you'll need:
- empty toilet paper or paper towel rolls (I used a combination of both. I find that you can cut down one paper towel roll for use with multiple figures.)
- scissors
- glue
- free Thanksgiving Toilet Paper Roll Figures set
- paper bag (optional for storage)
To assemble your figures, simply:
- Print out this set.
- Cut along the black line that separates figures.
- You will probably need to trim down the top and bottom of the figures to best fit the cardboard tube.
- Turn Thanksgiving figure wrap over (with the blank side facing up) and position paper roll.
- Glue both ends of Thanksgiving figure wrap. Again, you may need to trim one end to make sure there's no overlap.
- Press one glued-side onto the paper roll. Firmly wrap the paper around the cardboard tube and press other glued-side to down.
- Let dry.
- Repeat process with the remaining Thanksgiving figures.

Fun Ideas for Using These Free Thanksgiving Printables
You can use these Thanksgiving toilet paper roll figures in so many ways! Think outside the box and let your imagination go. Your kids will probably come up with a bunch of ways to have holiday fun with these activities 🙂
A few ideas that my boys will be doing include:
- Creative play: For use during brain breaks leading up to the holiday or while reading Thanksgiving books.
- Bowling: Play a creative game of 10-pin Thanksgiving bowling. Set these toilet paper roll figures up as bowling pins. Use a soft ball to try and knock them down.
- Make a tower: Challenge your kids to stack these figures into a tower. How high can they make it?
- Thanksgiving toilet paper roll figures scavenger hunt: Hide the characters around a room or your home. Send your kids on a Thanksgiving hunt!
- Placecard settings: Transform these Thanksgiving toilet paper roll figures into cute placecard holders. Add a slit to the top of the figure to insert card with name. Or just jot down the person's name on a blank space.
- Create puppet show characters: Cut out and glue onto woodcraft sticks for a fun puppet show. Great for read-aloud time!
- Use for holiday decor: Cut out and make a poster or Thanksgiving-themed art to showcase during your holiday celebration.
