Turkey in Disguise

This was a wonderful activity we did together, dragons of all ages.  
Doll Dragon brought home the activity and it went very well with our weekly book. I made copies of the worksheet she brought home so we could all make our own turkeys. 
The idea was to disguise the turkey so when it came to be Thanksgiving Day the turkey could not be found. 

 We brainstormed ideas that could hide a turkey the best. 

 I set out the craft supplies

  • felt
  • scissors
  • glue
  • tape
  • pom poms
  • pipe cleaner
  • glitter
  • markers
I left this activity very open.  I tried to help when the dragons would get off topic and grab for something that didn't match their idea or have them think about how they were going to use the tool they were grabbing.  After taking a minute to think about it they would either use it or put it back.  
Doll Dragons disguise kept jumping between 3 ideas so she had things that matched all of her ideas. 

When the crafting was all finished the turkeys were not turkeys anymore.  
There was a golden dragon
 
A werewolf

and a ninja turtle

We hung them up for the month on our thankful wall.  They were wonderful additions to our classroom.

    Just thought I'd give you a heads up that your pics are being stolen and used on Facebook. She used my friend's too, so I did a reverse search of the photos and found this page. Here's the link to her page if you want to report her

    This is so amazing. That Turkish theme for thanks giving day is an amazing idea. Thanks for sharing this with us. I really appreciate that. Now it's time to avail Live Chat Services for more information.

Elephant Faces

Elephant Faces (masks) We used:  Three paper plates Paint or markers Paint brushes Stapler Scissors Yarn First paint the bottom of the paper plate.  While the kids painted I cut the other paper plate in half for the ears. Using the third plate I cut out the textured part of the plate to make the trunks.   Paint (or color) the rest of the pieces.  Staple them together to make an elephant. Cut out small holes for eyes and small holes behind the ears to attach the yarn. Now that the lesson is over I have the masks hanging in the playroom.  They make a neat decoration.

Painting With Squirt Guns

We did this as a Fathers Day project, but it fits in outside play perfectly.   I liked this for Fathers because it was an interactive activity for the kids to do with Jerry to celebrate him and the time they enjoy spending with him. I filled 1 gun with yellow paint and 2 guns with black paint.  The squirt guns we used were from the dollar store and had a decently big hole to pour the paint into.  Some squirt guns have itty bitty holes that make squirting paint into the gun very difficult. Taped off the canvas...and made the kids pose Then the guns were handed to the kids and dad.  Instructions were to shoot the canvas not each other. Very simple. Start squirting!   The squirting went on and on.  I refilled the guns a couple times so the activity could continue.     Jerry also took time with each Dragon to squirt with them.  With a Star Wars theme we were looking at having black as the primary color and yellow as the secondar

Mini Story Boards

Mini Story Boards We used:  Foam Cookie sheets Magnets Paper I found the cookie sheets at the dollar store and loved the idea of the kids telling their own stories using movable magnets.   I cut out flowers with the foam (you can cut out any design and use construction paper instead of foam) and little people then stuck a magnet to the back.  I cut out bugs and stuck magnets to the back of those too.    Then I drew little scenes that would inspire a story and put them on the cookie sheet.  One demonstration and their imaginations took off on their own :)
