November is here and with it my favorite holiday- Thanksgiving! I love spending time with family, watching football, discussing all the many things we khave to be thankful for, and, oh yeah… the FOOD.
November was always a great time for fun arts and crafts when I was a teacher. Turkeys are colorful, so they make a great teaching tool for young kids.
My toddler loves sorting and matching colors. Turkeys and thanksgiving are the perfect theme for a color sorting and matching activity for toddlers.

Very cute craft! This is a great idea for before Turkey dinner. My son and his cousin (both almost 5) can get a little rambunctious so this would be helpful! 🙂

How fun! I just did several Thanksgiving crafts and I blogged about them, I wish I saw yours before to include it in my round up.
Thanksgiving is such great holiday, with so many activities. I wish people wouldn’t rush through it (even though I can’t wait for Christmas!)
I love this craft idea! It is perfect for my daughter!
I go Christmas shopping on Black Friday (which I hate-my SIL drags me along), but I still seem to have things to get last minute too. Lol!

I LOVE this turkey craft, and plan to make it with my 3 year old next week. As far as Christmas, my 3 year old is SOOO into Dinosaurs and my almost 2 year old thinks Mickey hung the moon, so I’m sure Dinosaurs and Mickey will have their places at Christmas this year 🙂

This is so great! I love your crafts and what a great giveaway as well!
I saw this on Facebook and am totally going to give it a try this weekend. It’s such a cute craft and I think my toddler would love it. Plus, he had just started pointing out colors and I think this will help. Thanks for the idea!
