I was hoping to get templates for making thanksgiving toilet paper crafts for pilgrims and Indians. That’s not what I received; very disappointing.
Hi Mary,
It sounds like you may have been looking for a different type of craft. This post features Thanksgiving activities focused on general fall themes and gratitude, there aren’t any pilgrim or Native American crafts included or advertised here.
I’m sorry for any confusion and hope you still found something fun and creative to enjoy with your little ones. If you’re searching for a specific craft style, feel free to let me know and I’d be happy to point you in the right direction or suggest an alternative! 🍁✂️
