Thanksgiving
By Lori

Here are some things that I have done. I am doing centers, but more academic type. I hope these help!

1. Turkey hand magnet. Children trace their hand on brown craft foam. They cut it out and add a feather on each
finger a beak and a google eye. Then an adult can hot glue a magnet or buy the ones that stick.
2. Brown Bag Turkey. Use small lunch bags. Stuff with news paper. Gather at top and secure so you have excess at the top. Have feather and head tracers for them. Glue feathers to rear (where the flat part of the bag is. Where they gathered the paper they put the head.
3. Dream Catchers.

Children make two brown pipe cleaners into a circle. They add beads to string and criss cross it all over the circle. Then they can add longer pieces of string and attach feather.

4. Corn on the cob paper. Let the children roll corn on the cob in paint and design their own wrapping paper.

5. Corn napkin holders. Use colored corn and add to cut toilet paper tubes. They could also make cute place cards if you supply them with some clip art.

6. Kids always like to have a card center. I put stickers for the holiday, clip art and words they will need. I also have them pick a few names out a hat and write a thank you note to classmates. (Make sure everyone gets one!)
