Thanksgiving Feast part II
















American as apple pie!

An easy no-bake apple pie recipe (although we will warm ours in the oven). This recipe came from Prekinders. All you need is:

Disposable spoons
Disposable bowls
Can opener
Canned apples (not pie filling, just apples in water)
Cinnamon & Sugar
Mini graham cracker pie crusts
Whipped cream


And the directions are:

Give each child a bowl and spoon. Allow children to scoop some apples from the can into their bowl. Be sure to give each child some of the water from the can so it will be easier to stir in the other ingredients. Allow each child to shake the cinnamon sugar onto their apples and stir it with their spoon. Once the cinnamon, sugar, and apples are mixed well, the children spoon their mixture into the pie crusts. Add whipped cream to the top and enjoy!













 

Thanksgiving Feast

3 days after the tree lighting ceremony/Christmas Caroling, we have our Thanksgiving Feast. :) Do we mind? Never! We enjoyed every second and the kids were awesome! Again! Jackson's mom took some more pics and I will post them as soon as we get them!

the setup:


impatiently patiently waiting in the hallway:

the production:

we sang Thanksgiving Day, 5 Fat Turkeys Are We, and I'm a Little Indian, Pilgrim, Turkey






Then we feasted on turkey and dressing, cranberry sauce, green beans, mac and cheese, sweet potato casserole, rolls, and caramel cake catered by Diamond Jim's. It was yummy!






Happy Turkey Day!!!!
And gobble till ya wobble!

We made toilet paper tube turkey centerpieces! Whew! That was a mouthful!

Materials:

Paper Plate
Scissors
Scraps of Red and Yellow/Orange Foam or construction paper

Tuesday we painted the tubes brown.



YesterdayI cut the bottom off of the paper plates and the students painted to their heart's content.



 I stapled the tubes to the plates and we had 3 lovely centerpieces for our tables today!

This idea came from Holiday Kids Crafts.
