The One With November Plans: Week Four

Hi!
This week is short and sweet! I'm sure that you all will be busy with family and other things this week, but I wanted to offer up a few ideas to keep the kiddos occupied. You can always do any old activities that you missed this month as well. 

Turkey Shape Sort*
Directions: print file. Cut apart the feather shapes on page 4. Mix up the feathers. Invite your child to sort the feathers and add them to the correct turkey. 
Printable here!!! 

Hand Turkey
Directions: It's an American tradition. Trace your child's hand and make it into a turkey shape. Discuss what they are thankful for and add it to the feathers/fingers. Voila! A sentimental craft that family loves. Feel free to spice up this craft however you'd like! There are tons of variations. 

Ice Cream Cone Cornucopia Snack
Directions:  (to make the end of the cone curly)Dip the end of a sugar cone in hot water for about 30 seconds.  Then, put the soaked cone into the microwave for 20-30 seconds to make the wet point soft a pliable. Roll the soft end around a clean pencil or wooden spoon, and hold to set.
OR
you can just leave the tip pointy!  Serve with fruit or other snacks inside for a fun treat!

Cranberry Bog Activity
Directions: provide your child with a bag of cranberries ($2 in grocery stores around here!) and a tub of water. Allow them to scoop and dump the water and cranberries with various kitchen tools. I found that small tablespoons and large slotted spoons worked the best. We also used these tools, which we LOVE. 

We discussed how the cranberries floated, and how real-life cranberry bogs work (in very very simple terminology, ha!) They scooped and dumped for a long time! 

Love you guys! Excited for December's plans! :)
