The Thursday before Thanksgiving our play group did some Thanksgiving themed activities.
Here Grace is adding feathers to our turkey.
We did a water table with a "gravy" theme. The kids had fun playing in the water with ladels, measuring cups, & even a turkey baster.
We did a thankfulness tree where the kids traced their hand and then wrote something they were thankful for. Grace really got into this one. She made most of the "hands" pictured.
We moved to a bigger room because our group has been growing.
The craft project was making a place setting. The girls loved this and we ended up with at least 4 of them...
Titus gets in on the action playing with our "Mayflower" (a.k.a. Little People Pirate Ship)
Laurie did a GREAT job with the planning! We also had a fun snack mix with different items that taught about Thanksgiving like marsh mellows (snowy winter), goldfish (Indian taught to fish), pretzels (praying hands), Trix (berries), and candy corn (Indians taught to grow corn).
