For those who may not know, the famous Mayflower was a Pilgrim ship which made a very historic voyage from England to the New World. The Pilgrims (Otherwise known as the English Colonists) are very important part of Thanksgiving history. The Pilgrims celebrated days of Thanksgiving as part of their religion. In Canada, the Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day on the second Monday in October while the Americans celebrate it on the fourth Thursday in November.
Since the Mayflower Ship is an important part of the Thanksgiving Day history, you can understand why Mayflower Ship crafts are quite popular with the kids. Here are some ways that children can make a Mayflower Ship.
