Turkey, turkey!

This one was a fun craft to do while I had the pleasure of babysitting my daughters best friend! You need...
(per turkey)
1 babyfood jar (any size)
2 googly eyes
1 small orange or yellow triangle for the beak
6 feathers from construction paper of assorted colors
1 rubber band
candy (candy corn, m&ms, it's your choice)
marker, glue, scissors

1) Cut out your beak and feathers.
2) Ask your child(ren) things they are thankful for (or if they can't quite grasp this, try asking what things they really like) and write their answers on the feathers
3) Have your child fill the jar with candy they like.
4) Put on the lid and glue. on the eyes and beak.
5) Glue the feathers together, then onto the jar. Put the rubber band around the feathers/jar so that they stay down while drying.
6) When dry, take off the rubber band and enjoy!

Apple Painting

I couldn't find my camera, so I had to use my phone... and this is the best picture I got, lol.

We did our apple painting! Calandra had a lot of fun- she had one round apple and one I cut up to be star shaped. I cut the round one sideways so it would have the star in the middle, but she was having fun smearing the apples around and messed up the one that I managed to get to show up, lol, but that's alright. Then she painted on herself. And the pad of construction paper. But not the carpet!

Originally, I was going to put little faces on her little round apple stampings, but she had too much fun smearing everything :)

I am getting ready to start her pre-k lessons at home, and this is something I will definitely have to re-visit for A.
