Thanksgiving 2011

For the last few days we have enjoyed spending time with the ones we love, eating wonderful food, and taking time to reflect on all that we are thankful for. I just love Thanksgiving so much! We took a break from our weekly letter themed Tot School, but we focused a lot on Thanksgiving.

Here's a look at some of our crafts...

We made a turkey using half of a small paper plate and a mini clothespin.

We practiced counting using numbered clothespins and the turkey place mat I made last year.

We made a turkey using a toilet paper roll and another small paper plate.

We did some Thanksgiving themed coloring.

We matched up the letters of Seth's name on turkey feathers to their spot on a turkey.
(Thanks, Beth.)

We played with turkey stickers.

We also used markers to color a turkey before we glued the pieces together.

Of course, we made some messes, too.

We even wore festive hats and...
clothing.

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, too!

Since we are coming into the Christmas season and we have lots of fun things planned for Advent, we aren't going to resume our letter themed Tot School until the new year. We hope to share lots of fun Christmas related crafts and activities in the coming weeks though so stay tuned.
