Thanksgiving Storytime

Thanksgiving is this Thursday, so naturally, this week's storytime revolved around that theme.  Today we read, Bear Says Thanks by Karma Wilson and `Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey.

We made paper plate turkeys for today's craft.  I gave each child a paper plate cut in half and construction paper beak, waddle, and legs.  To give the turkeys their feathers, I had trays of cut up tissue paper pieces in assorted colors which I instructed the kids to glue onto the paper plate.

 I think it works best for the kids to glue the "feathers" on first and then assemble the rest of the turkey's body.

The finished result!
