Thanksgiving STEM projects are a fun way to keep kids occupied when parents are in the kitchen. These thanksgiving engineering projects will boost your kids’ engineering skills and make engineering activities for kids a blast!

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I love cooking, baking excessive amounts of desserts, being off for several days in a row, spending time with family- all of it.

Thanksgiving is also one of the first days when it is cold (maybe) in Texas. We’ve done Thanksgiving crafts before, but we’ve never done Thanksgiving STEM activities before.

This year, that is going to change. I’ve scoured the Internet in search of the best Thanksgiving STEM activities (and most specifically Thanksgiving engineering projects) so that we (and you) are prepared for the big day.
