A Quick Peek at What You’ll Get
This printable includes:
🦃 A full-page Thanksgiving tic tac toe board with a festive fall design
🥧 A set of cut-out pieces – adorable turkeys and slices of pumpkin pie
You can print the game in color, laminate it if you want to reuse it, and store the pieces in a little baggie for next year. Instant seasonal fun!
These hook and loop dots (these are the best type because they don’t cover up the image underneath) make it easy to turn this game into a travel game, busy book page, etc.
How to Play (and Add a Fun Twist)
- Print out the tic tac toe board and pieces.
- Cut out the turkeys and pumpkin pie slices—five of each.
