    Fantastic!! I can’t wait to do this with my 5 yr old son! Looks like our library has a copy of the “Thanksgiving on Plymouth Plantation” book too, so we’ll be able to check that out as well!! You are truly gifted in creating meaningful play and fun learning experiences.

  • Lisa:

    Oh man – I just turned in my daughter’s Scholastic book form yesterday, thought about buying that book, but ultimately didn’t because I don’t love some of the Thanksgiving stories out there and didn’t know if it would be any good. Oh well, I’ll check the library. Looks like another fun project. I’ve been following this blog for years now, but did you know that some of your projects are being pinned all over pinterest now?

  • I absolutely love this idea! We are doing a thanksgiving unit study this month and this activity will be great for my k5 to do. It is simple but very educational!

  • katie:

    Love, love, love this! Can’t wait to do this with my girls.

    Thank you!

  • Thank you for sharing this. I think it’s age-appropriate and honest. My boy is only 2, but I’m definitely going to keep track of that book and your lesson, especially.

  • Amy:

    Great idea. I’m going to try to remember to do this with my son this year =) Thanks for sharing!

  • Lori Willard:

    This is FANTASTIC!! You really have done a GREAT job! My kids learn so much better when DOING something– so this is PERFECT! Thank you for taking the time to write it out and share!!

  • Julie:

    Thank you for sharing this! We will definitely be doing it. And, our sons share the same birthday :) I was making a pumpkin cheesecake for dessert when I went into labor

  • [...] Teaching Kids about Thanksgiving-hoping to do this activity with the kids this week [...]
