what are you thankful for?
a simple project done in stages. children sat with me in a circle and they told me ideas of things they were thankful for (i realized that what a preschooler is thankful for can also equal what they wish for), i wrote them around the edge of the purple paper, then they went to ms. carol. she helped them identify colors and sizes in order to glue them together so each color would show. then there was turkey face making and glue drying.
happy thanksgiving, friends and families!

I love this. I’m going to have my son try cutting in a circle today.
I really love the circle feathers idea! I hope you will link this post to my Thanksgiving Traditions link up!
Did the kids cut the circles out or were they precut? Love this idea…and your blog…and your pinterest too!!
yes! you bet!
I ADORE this cute turkey! Can I use the photo on my blog with a link to you? My kids will love this.
Alright Kristin, we did the snow man idea yesterday. The results are smashing and the kids were way more excited about doing it than I’d expected, so much so that they all wanted to take them home yesterday. I don’t know if there are any left to photograph to show you. I hope so.
As it turned out, what I thought was a packet of gray paper, was actually lilac (the lighting in my workroom isn’t so great) so that’s what we used. Thanks.
oh yeah, gray, gray, gray! love it.
We have a bird in australia called a cassowary that this would make a great project for. Thanks.
Ooo, that would be cool. I accidentally bought a package of gray construction paper that the kids have never used. Maybe I alternate white and gray . . . Or I could find some circular doilies to mix in. Yes, yes, yes . . . I love the simplicity of this idea. Thanks.
hey! how about snowpeople…all white circles…would give beautiful texture, all other concepts remaining…
i might do it too!
: )
Okay, so I missed stealing . . . uh, I mean borrowing . . . this for Thanksgiving. How can I make this into a project for December? Hmm?
I am thankful that i could be there and meet all of you last year :)
Such a great turkey activity: colors, circles, turkey, thankfulness, scissor skills, size… wow. Lots packed into one simple project. Just love it!
Best one I have seen all year. SO sad I didnt see this before my kiddos left for the holiday. Next year!
