Same or Different Thanksgiving Printables
These Same or Different Thanksgiving Printables will help your preschool and kindergarten-aged children work on patterns and recognizing significant or slight differences in objects. It’s perfect for themed Thanksgiving learning!
Once you print and let them get working, you’ll see their confidence in their learning abilities grow! It’s a great activity for early learners to work at their own pace!

I hope you find these homeschooling freebies useful for you in your homeschool classes! I love printing them and keeping them handy during the holidays or on a rainy day.
What’s the learning benefit of these Same or Different Thanksgiving Printables?
These Same or Different Thanksgiving Printables help preschoolers strengthen visual discrimination, critical thinking, and attention to detail. By comparing festive images like turkeys, pumpkins, and pies, children practice identifying similarities and differences — key skills for reading readiness, math sorting, and pattern recognition later on.
They also support vocabulary development as kids describe what they see and improve focus.

Would you like to save this?
Thanksgiving Sorting Station
Set up a table with mini Thanksgiving items, such as toy turkeys, pretend food, and leaves. Have kids sort them by size, color, or type.
This reinforces the same or different concept with hands-on fun!
“Find the Match” Turkey Hunt
Hide pairs of matching Thanksgiving picture cards around the room. Let kids go on a “turkey hunt” to find and match them. It’s an active way to boost observation and memory skills.
Create Your Own “Same or Different” Page
Give children stickers, crayons, and paper to draw or design their own same-or-different pictures — like two pies that look almost the same or pumpkins with unique details.
This encourages creativity and deeper understanding through art.
