Thankful Turkeys and Tasty Turkeys

This year I wanted the boys to think more about Thanksgiving and being thankful. So we made Thankful Turkeys. I asked each of them what they were thankful for and wrote it on the turkey feathers. I think it will be interesting to see how their answers change each year.

Evan is thankful for: Dinosaur Train, grandmas and grandpas, family, Jaxy Baxy(our kitten), McQueen and Dinoco and Mean McGreen (cars), and his Buster, Freddy and blanket.
As Jacob said he is 'thank you' for: Super Why (tv), Jax (kitten), grandmas and grandpas, people's houses (friends), Dinosaur Train (more tv), and lastly Music and Dancing.

After the boys were thankful I decided to let them have fun with Tasty Turkeys. I saw these turkeys online and thought they would be fun to make. Surprisingly it was a very kid friendly project. They were able to do almost everything. Their motivation to listen was being able to pick a turkey to eat when we finished. MMM!
