Thanksgiving Pumpkins

Thanksgiving is only three days away! Children could contribute to the celebration by making a special tablecloth. Give children a paper tablecloth and some festive markers. Place scrap paper under the tablecloth to protect underlying surfaces. Children could draw Thanksgiving foods, symbols, or family likenesses. They could also write messages about giving thanks. Children could read A Turkey for Thanksgiving by Eve Bunting or learn more from the Plimoth Plantation website at: Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Pumpkins

Thanksgiving is tomorrow! Today children could make placemats or nametags or table decorations (all from construction paper and markers). They could figure out how many smaller words they can make from the phrase “Happy Thanksgiving” or the phrase “Run Away and Hide, Turkey.” Children could also read  The Night Before Thanksgiving by Natasha Wing.
