Sensory Play - Make a Thanksgiving Sensory Bin

Brittany shared her Thanksgiving themed sensory bin with us. She used colored chickpeas but I would reccomend using items that won't pose a choking hazard like cereal or colored rice.

Then add some scoops or cups and you've got yourself a fun toddler sensory bin.

Canvas Turkey Painting Using Painters Tape

Caitlyn shared her canvas turkey painting with us. She used painters tape to mark out the pattern and then removed it to make the white lines. Doesn't the end result look great?!

There are so many fun ways to make turkey crafts (see a huge selection of turkey craft ideas HERE) and we love these ones shared by Laura. Simply cut a paper plate in half, use construction paper to create a simple turkey and add your decoration. What would you use to decorate your turkey?

Fine Motor Activity - Rescue the Feathers!

You don't need to make yours as big as this, but this is a great fine motor activity. Place mixed feathers on a tray (you can buy craft feathers like these HERE), cover with masking tape and use tweezers or tongs to 'rescue' them. I always love to recommend THIS Fine Motor pack which includes a great set of toddler friendly tweezers.
