Thanksgiving

The week of Thanksgiving we read this book:

Afterwards we made pilgrim finger puppets:

And adorable turkeys:

Sylvester

Another personal favorite that we did during the month of November!  We made our own magic pebbles; painted red with glitter.

Then we talked about what we would wish for if we had a magic pebble.  I thought I should share mine:

Then because you find rocks in dirt we made dirt cups.

Harry the Dirty Dog

 This was one of my favorite books when I was little and I was excited to share it with the kids.  I got some great ideas from the Crafty Crow.  After reading the story we had a dog wash.

 Then I let the kids color their own Harry.  The idea was to keep one Harry clean and the other dirty, as you can see not everyone got the memo:)

 Then we talked about where we'd go if we were a dog and wanted to get dirty.

 Then I made doggy treats aka bread sticks for the kids.

 They got to paint their treats with butter and then choose to decorate it with parmesan or cinnamon & sugar.

 Cinnamon and sugar was by for the favorite.

Not Scared of Anything!

To round out our Halloween themed month we read:

 Such a fun book!  And we made adorable crows and scarecrows to go with it.

Room on the Broom

 For this fun story we made a super fun witch, with movable parts.

 And then for snacks we made the witch a special broom:

Monsters

"Go Away Big Green Monster" was another fun day.  We made our very own monsters to make disappear:

 We had silly smiles for a snack:

Then we learned a new song Go Away! that the kids loved singing.

Vampires and other spooky creatures

 "Big Pumpkin" was a day full of spooky creatures.  The children made toilet paper roll vampires:

 Their own real mummy:

 And some spooky ghosts:
