Thanksgiving Craft & Writing Activity | Pumpkin Pie Craft | All About Me

Looking for a Thanksgiving craft that is as meaningful as it is sweet? This pumpkin pie writing craft gives students a fun way to share all about themselves while practicing writing, drawing, and fine motor skills! Children respond to six personal prompts to create a pumpkin pie that is as unique as they are.

With two ways to create, you can choose the option that works best for your classroom. Students can cut and assemble their own pumpkin pie craft, or complete the simple one-page version by coloring, writing, and cutting around the finished pie. Add the included writing paper to turn their pie ideas into an extended writing activity!

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

• Cut-and-assemble pumpkin pie craft templates
• One-page print, color, and write pie option
• Six all-about-me prompts
• Whipped cream name piece for the assembled craft
• “I Am as Sweet as Pie!” writing paper with primary and regular line options
• Teacher lesson plan and K–3 standards connections
• Easy-to-follow directions

THE SIX SWEET PROMPTS:

• I am thankful for…
• My favorite thing to do is…
• Someone I think is sweet is…
• I show kindness by…
• I smile when…
• My favorite place to go is…

Students can respond with drawings, labels, words, or sentences to fit their needs. Then use the included writing paper to help them turn their ideas into a longer piece about themselves.

TWO WAYS TO CREATE:

Cut and assemble: Students cut out the plate, pie pieces, crusts, and whipped cream. They attach the crusts to the pieces, write or draw their responses, and arrange their pie on the plate. Add a name to the whipped cream and place it in the center!

Print and complete: Students color the one-page pie, write or draw their responses, and cut around the outside. No separate pie-piece assembly is needed!

PERFECT FOR:

• Thanksgiving writing lessons
• November crafts and activities
• All About Me writing
• Gratitude and kindness discussions
• Fall writing centers
• A sweet Thanksgiving bulletin board or hallway display
• A take-home keepsake for families

From sharing a favorite place to naming someone sweet, this Thanksgiving writing craft gives your students a chance to celebrate the little things that make them who they are!
