Another fun Thanksgiving has come and gone in the Growing Giraffe room! We had fun reading different stories, doing activities and had a blast creating our Indian vests and headdresses! Our feast was pretty awesome also!
For some funny art, we made turkey drumsticks! The kids tore brown paper and covered the turkey with it then we added shiny iridescent glitter for the stick/bone part. The had fun and they make funny art projects!
I make this turkey every year...the kids make the feathers out of bell peppers dipped in paint. I cut the bell peppers in half and the kids use one half for each color. They make the feathers first and then we glue the body and the rest of turkey parts on!
We make special place mats every year for our Thanksgiving Feast! I always end up doing the same thing but I love these handprints so much! Then the children add a mosaic touch to them with the square border. Sorry, the picture is just awful! I thought I took a better one but I guess it was not focused well.
To work on motor skills and let the kids have some very cool fun, I had a bag of small feathers and each child got play-doh and had a blast sticking the feathers in their play-doh just like on a turkey!
Here is a glance of our Indian vest we made and our necklaces...
And lastly, another shot of me and my sweet girl at our Feast...
