Burnham Bunch: Thanksgiving

Turkeys

Read: 10 Turkeys in the Road by Brenda Reeves Sturgis and Gobble Gobble Crash! by Julie Stiegemeyer

 

Craft: Clothespin Turkey inspired by No Time for Flashcards
  • Need: Clothespins, paper plates (ideally Chinet), brown, red, orange, yellow and green paint, brown and orange construction paper, sticker-eyes, glue sticks and foam paint brushes.
  • Prior to storytime, paint one side of the clothespins red, orange, yellow and green (four of each color per child). Also cut out head and beaks.
  • Lay paper plate at each craft seat. (use a heavy-duty paper plate like Chinet -- I didn't and had to layer a few of the cheapo plates together).
  • Have kiddos glue head and beak onto the back of the plate and adhere the sticker-eye.
  • Then instruct them to paint the plate brown.
  • After they completed painting their plate, I sent them to wash their hands (what a mess!!) and I wiped down the table.
  • When all our little fingers were clean, I had them clip their turkey-feather clips onto the plate.
Such a cute project. Another fave from No Time for Flashcards!
