THE LAST OF OUR THANKSGIVING ACTIVITIES

JJ - 5 Years

Jumping Bean - 40 months

Baby Cat - 19 months

This week is a light homeschool week for us, my kids & I have have little colds & with Thanksgiving almost here I decided to do "fun activities" instead. Here are a few of the last Thanksgiving activities for this year that we worked on this week.

With our homeschool group - I read the kids The Thanksgiving Bowl book and then we accompanied it with this recycled turkey craft.

Materials needed:

toliet paper roll

glue

paint swatches from the hardware store

stapler

Directions:

I cut out the feathers 1st, stapled them together then the kids wrote what they were thankful for on each turkey feather.

Then I stapled them to the toliet paper roll

I made the beak then had them glue them on the roll

The eyes I just used my hole puncher to make the eyes, the kids glued them on!

JJ made a Lego turkey, I found the directions HERE. My son LOVES Lego's - this was a good follow directions lesson. (We didn't have the brown Lego's that the directions called for so we used the yellow one's instead).

We made Native American Bands, I cut construction paper in 3 strips, hand cut feathers. They colored their bands and glued feathers to the paper feathers.
