Thankful Turkey

We made this thankful turkey and it turned out really nice.

Here’s what you’ll need: turkey template, construction paper, crayons, scissors, glue and marker.

Hailey colored the turkey.  While she was busy coloring, I cut out Hailey’s hand prints, my hand prints, and Rich’s hand prints.  Then we each said things we were thankful for and I wrote our answers on our hand prints.

Tot School Week in Review

Hailey is 37 months old.

We were pretty busy last week and didn’t have time to do a whole lot of Tot School projects.  Here are the few things we did get to do, with links to the original posts I did earlier in the week.

Letter of the Week- Letter E:

For our alphabet book, Hailey made an Elephant Puzzle.

Theme- Turkeys:

We made this really cute Paper Bag Turkey.

Hailey was proud of how this turkey turned out.

Other:

Hailey is really good at putting her puzzles together.  She works and works, matches up the colors and turns the piece all around until she figures out where it goes.

Hailey did some work on her word puzzles.

Hailey practiced her cutting.

Stop by 1+1+1=1 to see what the other tots did last week.

Here is another cute turkey idea I found over at Ramblings of a Crazy Woman.

Here’s what you’ll need: construction paper, glue, brown paint, google eyes, paper plate, paper bowl for paint and something to paint with.

Paint the paper plate brown.

While your child is busy painting, cut out some feathers, feet and pieces for the face.

Glue on the feathers.

Add the turkeys face.

Paper Bag Turkey

It’s time for all the of the fun Thanksgiving and turkey projects to start!  We made our first turkey project yesterday, one that I found over at Ramblings of a Crazy Woman.

You’ll need: paper bag, google eyes, construction paper, glue, something to tie around the bag and newspaper.

Stuff half of the bag with crumpled up newspaper.

Twist the middle of the bag and tie something it around to hold it in place (I used brown ribbon).  Then stuff the top of the bag with more crumpled up newspaper.  Tape the top of the bag shut.

Add a face to your turkey.

Add some feathers.
