Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving week!

Corn Shakers - Great noise makers! Ha!  The kiddos and the shakers!  We drank our water with our feast.  Then we poured corn kernels into our bottles and taa daa!  Shakers!! 

 

It would have been fun to add beads and maybe small bells too.  I found this idea on this blog:  Here!

The Feast - Oh yum!  The kiddos each brought an item to share.

 
Planting Corn - We have been talking about the Pilgrims and the Native Americans who helped them.  We learned that Squanto taught the pilgrims to plant their corn with a dead fish to help it grow strong...  We did the same... 

 

Pumpkin Play Dough - We enjoyed playing with this fragrant dough for quite a bit of time.  Hope you enjoy it at home as well.  It's just canned pumpkin, cornstarch and seasonings.
