Last year I wrote this post about Thanksgiving crafts. Here are a few more Thanksgiving ideas that I either do in my class or would like to!
There is a great set of November printables at abcschoolhouse.
You could use one of the printable turkeys for a Turkey Glyph. This is one of my favorite activities to do with my kids. It really makes them learn to listen to directions.
This is the glyph that I use:
Turkey Glyph students follow these directions to color their turkey:
Boys orange beak, girls; yellow beak
Yellow feet has siblings; Red feet does not have siblings
Body: like to eat turkey, brown; doesn’t like it, black
Color the turkey’s eyes the color of your eyes.
Feathers: 4 year old- red and orange; 5 year old red and yellow
Isn’t this a cute turkey hat?
Here’s a cute little turkey from Family Fun.
We always make Indian Headdress in my class. We pattern triangles on a long thin sheet of paper (like a sentence strip), fit it to the child’s head and staple and then attach feathers (I cut out feather shapes) to the back. These always turn out so cute and are a good way to practice patterning.
We also make Indian Corn. I have the kids paint the corn shape with dots of paint using a q-tip. Then we add green paper “husks.”
It looks a lot like the one above.
There are some cute File Folder games at preschoolprintables:
turkey ship shape perfect pies
I’ve never tried these, but they sure are cute.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I have been married to my wonderful husband, Dan for 9 years. I couldn’t ask for a better husband or father for my children!
We have two wonderful little boys. D3 is very smart, very sweet, and very spirited. He’s seven years old. L is very sweet, very cuddly, and very spunky. He is three years old.
My main job at this point in my life is mommy and I’m blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom most of the time. I also teach preschool part time and love it.
