Thanksgiving Virtual Story Time

Tomorrow is a special day! This week, we are again celebrating Thanksgiving with some themed stories for Virtual Story Time. Check out Miss Theresa’s two stories and then the craft below. Miss Theresa liked both stories so much that she couldn’t decide which one to read, so she recorded both!

We are pretty sure everyone has made a hand turkey before. This week, we are bringing back this classic Thanksgiving craft for our story time. It’s so easy that even babies can do it (with some help) and so fun!

The sky’s the limit with decorating the hand turkey. Crayons, markers, and paint are all great mediums to color in the turkey after the hand is traced. Be sure you write down the child’s name, age, and the year so later you can look back and see how little their hand was when they made the craft.

If you need a refresher, we have a link you can visit here! We hope you all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving this year.

Turkey Day Virtual Story Time

This week and next, we are celebrating Thanksgiving with Virtual Story Time! Below you’ll find two turkey-themed stories and a craft. Enjoy!

This is a great time of the year to talk about the meaning behind Thanksgiving and introduce young kids to the concept of “being thankful” or “giving thanks.” You can use this coloring sheet to help them visualize three things they are thankful for!
