Preschool Art & Story Time: Thanksgiving

 This week in preschool art and story time, we talked about sharing a meal with those you care about, and things we are thankful for with these two great books:

We had two felt-board activities (these are a hit!) 

Turkey’s Feathers

Turkey wears his red feather, red feather, red feather,

Turkey wears his red feather all day long. 

(Repeat with different colors)

Pumpkin Pie

5 little pumpkins on a vine (hold up 5 fingers)

5 little pumpkins that are mine (point to self)

I pull one off and then I sigh (sigh)

I can’t wait for pumpkin pie!

(Continue to count down)

No little pumpkins on a vine,

No little pumpkins that are mine,

But I don’t have to make a sigh,

Because it’s time for pumpkin pie!

We then rotated through four art-making stations which included:

Painting turkey feathers with forks:

Here is the set-up: 

Making a placemat with clear contact paper and paper squares:

A Fall Sensory Bin:

And (not pictured), printed dot marker Turkey sheets to fill with tweezers and pom poms. 

We are all ready for a great holiday weekend!
