Thanksgiving 2010

I printed out a turkey and cut off the feathers.  Then I cut feathers out of construction paper, one for every day until Thanksgiving.  On the back of the feathers I wrote craft, activity, song, snack or paper.  N gets to choose a feather every day, and we do whatever is on the back.  Here is a compilation:

Crafts:

• Indian vest
• pilgrim collars
• pine cone turkeys
• popcorn corn
• colored popcorn kernels

Activities:

• Turkey strut - masking tape turkey foot prints on the floor.  Turn on music.  When the music stops, children choose a turkey print to stand on.
• Find the turkey - hide paper turkeys around the room.  Children find them.

Snack:

• cornucopia - ice cream cone and fruit snacks
• Peanut butter turkeys
• apple turkeys - apple body, toothpick filled with raisins for feathers, and something for eyes and mouth.

Song:

• My Delicious Ambiguity has a Thanksgiving songbook that has tons of songs!

Paper:

• Thanksgiving themed worksheets that can be found online.
