Thanksgiving Preschool Activities

This year I decided to go a lot lighter on Thanksgiving activities, mostly because the holiday snuck up on me. I know this is too late to give anyone ideas for this year, but I'm posting anyway so that I will be able to come back to it for ideas in the future.

 

Counting fruit into his Super Sorting Pie

Matching resin letters to beginning sounds (from Tot Schooling)

He kept asking for bottle cap letter pages, so I quickly made one for a pumpkin pie and a turkey.

Reading Bear Says Thanks with "puppets" (printed from Making Learning Fun)

Thanksgiving Vocabulary Cards

Pie topping counting activity (from Homeschool Creations)

Early Readers - Thanksgiving Book

Happy (almost) Thanksgiving!  Recently I added a section for early reading books to the blog, so I decided to make a fall themed book.  Usually, I am making three version of each book, one in English, one in Spanish and one with both. However, since Thanksgiving is an American holiday, I felt like it just didn't translate well.  This time, I only made an English version.

Here are example pages (words on one page, picture on the following).

And then here is what my printed one looks like.  (I printed on cardstock and laminated the pages . Then, I used a 3 hold punch to make the holes and used 3/4" binder rings to "bind" the books.)

You're free to download the files to use with your little one.

Thanksgiving Week

Things have been a little crazy lately, but we still managed to sneak in some educational fun over Thanksgiving week.  Here is what we have been up to!

We started off the month with a Tree of Gratitude.  Every day we each added a leaf with something for which we are thankful.  I loved this activity and wish we could leave it up all year!

Magna-Tile Turkey

I got out our Thanksgiving 3 Part Cards from last year, and Xander remembered most of the words!

I also found some great school packs from Our Little Monkeys and 3 Dinosaurs!  We did some word family sorting...

some numbered puzzles...

and some measuring.

I also found this cute scarecrow craft from Oriental Trading.

As a special break from my own schoolwork, we spent one night with a friend in Chicago and went to the Museum of Science and Industry.  We both had a great time and could have easily spent a few days exploring the exhibits!

Of course we read tons of books, I just didn't snap any pictures.  Xander's absolute favorite was I Know An Old Woman Who Swallowed a Pie
