Happy Thanksgiving

 Welcome

Here in Canada, we celebrated our Thanksgiving at the beginning of October.

We had fun making lots of turkeys and learning about them.

So, here's what we got up to.

Sitting Turkeys

I made a brown paper cone and we decorated them to look like turkeys.

Turkey Wreath

Inflatable Turkey

We used a plastic glove, decorated it with feathers and details and I added it over a cup with a straw.  

When the kids blew into the straw, the turkey would inflate.

THEY LOVED IT!

'T' is for Turkey

Welcome Fall and Thanksgiving

 Hello

Fall is such a wonderful time of year.  My kiddos just love getting outside and collecting leaves.  

I love seeing all the colours of Fall happening, it's also such a great time for learning.

We also celebrate our Canadian Thanksgiving so lots was happening.

So, here's what we did the last couple weeks.

Fall Banners

Playing in the Leaves

Paper Strip Pumpkins

I cut some paper strips and we looped them together to make these cute little pumpkins.

Pumpkin Colouring

Chipmunk

So, we have 3 chipmunks in our backyard that the kids love seeing and feeding.

They absolutely loved making this craft.

Turkey Shelf Sitters

The turkeys were also a big hit with the kids.

I created a cone shape for the body and the kids decorated them.

Thanksgiving Placemats

I printed off the turkey for the kids to colour, then we decorated them.

I covered them with some clear contact paper so they can be wiped clean.

PRINTABLE

Turkey Book

I printed off this turkey book and we made the feather on a stick to use with the story.  

In the story, the feather tickles and the turkey runs away.

Pinecone Turkeys

This was definitely the hit of the week.

We collected pinecones which the kids loved doing.  I hot glued them onto a piece of cardboard for stability, and the kids added colourful feathers to decorate them.

I hope you are enjoying the Fall as much as we are.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Gobble Gobble and Happy Thanksgiving

 

Welcome and so glad you could pop in for a visit.

This past week, we celebrated Thanksgiving here in Canada.

My little ones did lots of creating for this celebration.

So  here's what we did last week.

Sitting Turkey

This turkey was made from folded paper.  I've had it in my stash for years so I'm sorry there isn't a link I can pass along to you.

Turkey Wreath

Just a simple wreath made with a paper plate.

We glued paper strips to decorate.

Tickle the Turkey

This little book is so fun.

It is about tickling the turkey until he runs away.

I taped a feather onto a craft stick for the kids to tickle the turkey in the story.

(Here is a printable of the same story, just different pictures)

Turkey Card

I traced the kid's foot for the body and their hands for the feather.  

A great keepsake for the parents.

Well that's all for this past week.

More to come and thanks for coming by and taking a look.

Happy Thanksgiving- Gobble, Gobble

 Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadian friends and family.

This week we had such fun creating lots of turkeys for our holiday celebrations.

So fun and happy they can share with their families.

So here is what we did this week.

Turkey Wreath

Who doesn't need a turkey wreath to welcome Autumn and Thanksgiving.

Simply made using a paper plate and some cut out shapes.

Turkey Sitter

Here is a fun turkey we made by stuffing a paper lunch bag with newspaper and adding all the turkey details.

This is the song we learned.  The kids love it!

Turkey Puppets

Simple turkey puppets to use with our song (above).

Pumpkin Pie with Whipped Cream Game

So fun and simple.  I printed out the pieces and we glued the numbers to a paper plate.  

They counted and added the pieces.  A big hit with the kiddos.

Here is the link to the printout:

Pumpkin Pie game

Turkey Pie Boxes

We made these fun boxes but instead of adding pie as it was too messy, we added some snack crackers.

Here is the link to the printable:

Pie Boxes

Colouring Turkeys

I drew some turkeys for them to colour but you could just print them out.

More colouring

Baby Pumpkins

These little pumpkins are made using this punch.  So cute and the perfect size for little hands.

....and finally....

What do you do on a rainy day when you have to stay inside.

Well, you make some Cheerio necklaces!!

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Thanksgiving

Welcome.

This week, we celebrated Thanksgiving by making turkeys and learning another new song....they loved it!

Here is what we created this week.

Who doesn't need a turkey wreath for their door.

We created ours using a paper plate and some construction paper for the feathers.

I am teaching my kiddos how to write their names and this was a really fun project helping to 

learn the letters. (I used my name for the picture)

They coloured a paper plate brown, we decorated it with some google eyes and a beak then glued on the letters of their names.  The clothespins had the letters on them so they could clip them on...great fine motor practice as well.

We created a Thanksgiving card for them to give to their parents.  

We made a giant stuffed turkey to sit on their table by stuffing a brown lunch bag and added construction paper details.

Turkey hats to finish off our week of creating and celebrating for Thanksgiving.

We played a fun game...super easy to create as well using 2 small brown lunch bags and one larger one.  The game is called 'Stuff the Turkey'.  Throw rolled up newspaper balls into the turkey....they loved it and played it over and over again.  

Here's a picture of the one I made and a link to show you how to make it.  I think it would be super fun to use this for a family get-together.

Our song this week:

A turkey is a funny bird,

His head goes wobble, wobble.

The only thing that he can say is, 

Gobble, gobble, gobble.
