Giving thanks

We have officially started the countdown to Turkey day.We have done several activities   that makes us think of thanksgiving and bring thankful. 

  Turkey gobblers headbands were so cute. Funshine included all the supplies for it.

                  Patterned scrap paper

                  Turkey cutouts

                   Eyes

                   Magic foam peices 

The kids colored there head bands however they wanted. I loved seeing how each child decorated differently. One took  a lot of time and effort to make the whole head was colored. Another child just did enough to say she colored it and was finished.  We did the turkey trot while wearing the hats. 

 This was a game that came with curriculum. The children would pick a number card and then add that many children to the table. I had them even take away some cards and see how many cards were left. 

 You never know what will keep a child's interest for a certain period of time, but this kept busy for about 10 mins.

Quill writing was another neat idea that we did. We used feathers and paint. I did not have ink on hand. The girls thought it was really neat and it ended up being a painting, but they got the idea of writing with a feather.

I had this felt turkey and I thought it would be a great time to bring it out. I love watching all the creative ways the kids sort the feathers or what patterns they make.

 What activities are you doing?
