Happy Thanksgiving and Scarecrows

 Welcome

This post will be 2 weeks rolled into one post.

I have to say that I don't know how my weeks get so busy and I run out of time.

We sure have been keeping busy though.

Here in Canada, we celebrated Thanksgiving on Oct. 10th so this post will include some turkeys and some scarecrows too.

So, here's what we have been up to the last 2 weeks.

Turkey Wreath

This simple wreath was fun to create and the kids loved hanging them up at home.

Sitting Turkey

We made this simple sitting turkey by starting with a cone and then added all the features.

Turkey Hat

We made these fun hats to wear for Thanksgiving and learned our 'Turkey Song'.

(Sorry for the blurred pic, little people are always on the move.)

Turkey Song

A turkey is a funny bird,

His head goes wobble, wobble

The only thing that he can say is...

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble

Thanksgiving Placemats

I printed off this sheet and the kids coloured it and glued leaves around.  

I added some sticky plastic to make it waterproof.

Pumpkin Dot Gluing

Paper Plate Scarecrow

We used the back side of the plate and glued on all the features.

Crow Puppets

I used an envelope as the base and the kids coloured and then glued on the features.

FINALLY........

We finished off our week of scarecrows by making a life sized one.

It was so fun and the kids did all the stuffing with old paper.

They loved scrunching the paper up and then adding it into the clothes.  

They are all so proud of him and get excited to see him every morning as they come in the door.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Celebrate the Happy New Year

 

Hello and Welcome

It was my first week back, a very quiet one with not all my kiddos back yet.

We still had time to create some New Year projects that were fun to make.

So here's what we did last week.

Happy New Year Noise Makers

These shakers were so fun.  I hot glued 2 plastic containers that I had saved from applesauce together with a bell inside.  Glued on the stick for the kids to decorate and then....shook them and shouted 'Happy New Year'! 

Banner

I printed off a colouring sheet and added a hanger on the top with some string.

Hats

To make these simple hats, cut 2 large circles...I used a dinner plate to trace mine.

Cut them out and staple them together.  We glued lots of colourful circles onto our.  When they are decorated, you bend them together to make a cone shape, staple and add some string.

Wreaths

Always great to have a new wreath.  

The kids loved gluing on the stars and it was great for my littlest ones who are learning the shapes.

Winter Gluing

Thanks so very much for coming by and taking a look.
