Thanksgiving Placemat Craft Activity

This Thanksgiving Placemat Craft is a great activity for the month of November! The craft is kid-friendly, easy prep, and is fun for students to use on Thanksgiving or your classroom feast! Not only will it make a wonderful Thanksgiving themed bulletin board, but students will love making their very own cut and paste turkey.

What’s included in this pdf:

• A photograph of the craft activity
• Step-by-step directions
• Templates that can be copied directly onto colored cardstock or construction paper and then cut out by students. 
• Labeled templates that can be xeroxed onto cardstock, cut by the teacher, and then traced onto colored paper and cut by students. Labels will include the name of the pattern, the color to use, and how many of each pattern to cut (Ex: Body Cut 1 Red).
