Thanksgiving Morning Menu Expansion Pack

The Thanksgiving Morning Menu Expansion Pack is a 48-page digital resource designed to bring calm, structure, and a little seasonal fun to your mornings. Created for preschool and early elementary learners, it’s filled with screen-free activities like literacy practice, tracing pages, counting, shapes, and simple festive tasks that help kids ease into the day feeling focused and confident. Perfectly paired with the November Morning Menu, this add-on keeps your routine fresh and engaging—with just the right touch of Thanksgiving magic to make mornings feel special for the whole family.

Why It Works for Families:
Created by a former elementary teacher and mom of three, this resource has been tested and refined at the family table to fit the needs of busy households. The seasonal Thanksgiving themes keep kids excited, while the reusable format makes it easy to swap and rotate pages for ongoing variety. With quick prep and simple supplies, the Morning Menu builds structure, independence, and confidence for kids—while giving parents the gift of a smoother start to the day.

How to Use It:
Getting started is simple! Print the pages and slide them into a restaurant-style menu cover or laminate them for durability and reuse. The activities are color-coded by difficulty, so you can easily choose pages that match your child’s developmental level. Rotate pages regularly—swapping even one or two every few days—to keep things fresh and exciting, much like rotating toys. This small change sparks curiosity, prevents boredom, and helps your child look forward to their Morning Menu each day.

About the Creator:
As both a former elementary school teacher and a mom of three little girls, I know firsthand how hectic mornings with young kids can feel. I created the Morning Menu series to bring calm, structure, and joy to our mornings—and now I’m sharing it with other families who want the same. Each activity has been tested at our own learning table, refined to fit into real-life routines, and designed to spark curiosity while keeping kids engaged and independent.
