Every year at Thanksgiving we look for fun Thanksgiving crafts to do with our students. The Thanksgiving turket and the Pilgrims and Indians provide a wide range of crafts to make with your children. This is one I remember making when I was a child, so I guess it's true that some things never go out of style!
To make the turkey shown each child needs:
A variety of colors of colored paper in brown, red, yellows and orange colors
1 piece of background paper to paste on
1 large circle for the turkey's body\
Triangles, rectangles or squares for tail feathers
Triangles, rectangles or squaresfor a beak
Marker or crayon for eyes
Glue Stick or glue pots
This project helps children develop fine motor skills, creative thinking, imaginative thinking, learn shapes and colors, and the use of multi-media for art projects.
