Baby girl enjoyed cuddling up with the book and feeling the soft felt on the pages with her fingers. She even gave us a few coos when reading!

During the memory craft, she seemed to enjoy looking at the different colored bottles of paint and interacting with the educator. A few of our older friends even stopped by to say “Hi” to her during the activity.

This activity can easily be a supplement to Thanksgiving literature that you are reading in your classroom. There are tons of great “Turkey” themed books available on Amazon.

Our little guy was creative, and found different ways to use the pipe cleaner turkey track stamper. He was eager to practice his fine motor skills, grasping the pipe cleaner with his fingers.

A lesson plan is available for this project at www.Lessons4Learners.com.
