We are going to do 2 crafts. First, we are going to make foam leaf wreaths. This is a kit from
Oriental Trading. I got it ready to go for the kids by punching out the leaves, gluing on the wreath hanger, and setting aside the bow & beads. They will attach the leaves and acorns to the wreath with glue dots and then write things they are thankful for on the leaves. Here's my example and a prepped craft:
Second, we are going to draw turkeys. I made a card that says "Thanksgiving 2012" that you can download HERE (Or, you can download these without a year HERE). Then I used my Silhouette to cut brown turkey bodies and orange turkey beaks. The kids will glue the turkey bodies, turkey beaks, & 2 goggle eyes to the card. Then, they will draw on the turkey feathers and legs. Here's my example:
Then we are going to play a quick game that I used at my preschooler's Harvest Hoedown (POST HERE). I colored and laminated 4 fall coloring pages. I taped these to buckets and will put 1 bucket in each corner of the classroom. The kids will choose a bucket to stand at. I will pull the name of one of the coloring pages from a bag. All of the kids at this coloring page are out and will sit down. Now, all the kids remaining at the other 3 coloring pages choose a new coloring page to stand at. Then, we will just repeat again and again until we have a winner!
We have to provide a healthy snack, so I am going to do the same popcorn cups that I did last year (POST HERE). I have different cups and bags this year but it's the same idea.
For books, I am going to bring Turkey Trouble by Wendi Silvano, I Know an Old Lady who Swallowed a Pie by Alison Jackson, and Amelia Bedelia Talks Turkey by Herman Parish.
It should be fun!
