sequin turkey craft project for preschool and kindergarten
Here is a wonderful project for fine motor development that goes great with a turkey or Thanksgiving theme.  You will need colored cardstock paper ... scissors ... glue/glue sticks ... sequins ... and wiggle eyes.

Children cut a turkey body shape out of brown cardstock paper. Next they cut five turkey feathers from five different colors of cardstock paper and glued them onto the turkey body. They glued on wiggle eyes and cut a beak and gobbler from from orange and red cardstock paper. They then cut turkey legs from yellow cardstock paper and glued them on together with the beak and gobbler. The last step was to apply glue drops to turkey and press on the sequins.

paint chip turkey craft for preschool and kindergarten
Every time I am in a store that sells paint I grab a couple of paint chip samples and save them for when we do activities with paint chips.  This week we made made turkeys with them.

 To make the paint chip turkeys you will need to have:

colored cardstock paper
construction paper
glue/glue sticks
paint chips
wiggle eyes
scissors


The children start by cutting a turkey body out of brown cardstock or construction paper. Next they cut feather shapes from the paint chip samples and glue them on to the back of the turkey body.

Children can decide what colors and how many of the paint chips to use. They then cut a beak ... gobbler and feet from cardstock paper and glue on the turkey body.  The last step is to glue on the wiggle eyes.  If you do not want to use wiggle eyes you can also make construction paper eyes.

Easy To Make Pumpkin Spice Paint

Pumpkin Spice Paint For Toddlers and Preschool
I recently attended a make and take sessions and one of the things we made was pumpkin spice paint.  It is super easy to make but I felt the recipe we used was a bit too runny so I modified it a little.
Pumpkin Spice Paint For Toddlers And Preschool
To make the paint I put three packets of unflavored gelatine into a jar along with 1 cup of boiling water and mixed the two together until the gelatine was dissolved.  I added yellow and red food coloring and stirred until I had an orange color I was happy with.

The last step was to add the pumpkin pie spice into the paint.  I just continued to shake some in until I got the scent that I wanted.  Everyone loved how the paint smelled and were very excited to paint with it.

I let the paint cool down which also helped to thicken it.  The children then painted large circles on cardstock paper.  When they painted they could see the specks of pumpkin spice.  We let that paint dry and cut out the circle and glue it on to a sheet of colored cardstock paper.  The children cut out a leaf and stem and glue that on the pumpkin.  They then glue pumpkin seeds on for extra fine motor work.

Pumpkin Seed Transfer

Pumpkin Seed Transfer Preschool and Kindergarten Math and Fine Motor Activity
We love working with pumpkins seeds ... there are so many things your can do with them!! I set this activity up in our math center using two pumpkin bowls that I purchased from Target.  You can use any kind of bowl or container that works for you.  I put the pumpkin seeds in one of the bowls and set out a pair of jumbo tweezers along with dice.
Pumpkin Seed Transfer Preschool and Kindergarten Math and Fine Motor Activity
The children rolled the dice and then used the tweezers to transfer the same number of pumpkin seeds into the empty bowl.  They continued to roll the dice until all of the pumpkins seeds had been transferred. This activity can also be done without the tweezers and/or the dice.

I mixed up the pumpkin number cards and the number circles so that they were out of order and then set them both out on a table.  This activity can also be done on the floor.
