What’s the true meaning of Thanksgiving?While it’s a time to come together as a family, it’s also a chance to celebrate the harvest. Sometimes this gets lost in the modern interpretation of the day between annual parades, football games, and gorging ourselves on delicious food, all of which I am guilty of.
If you are looking to share the true meaning of Thanksgiving with your kids and get a taste of what life was like in the 17th century that can be done between any and all of the aforementioned things, hop on over to my weekly column on The LeapFrog Community to read my latest post– Thanksgiving Sites for Kids Teach the Real Meaning of the Day.
The post contains links to a virtual tour of Plimouth Plantation, an animated BrainPop video, and audio tutorials so your kids can be speaking like the English colonists come Thanksgiving Day.
