Hey Readers, Welcome to Your Guide to a Shape-astic Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, and fun, and what could be more fun for toddlers than learning about shapes? This guide will provide you with some great activities that will help your little ones learn about shapes while they celebrate the holiday.
Shape-tastic Sensory Play
Edible Shape Scavenger Hunt
This is a great way to get your toddlers moving and learning. Hide different shaped Thanksgiving-themed treats around the room, such as pumpkin-shaped cookies, turkey-shaped crackers, and corn-shaped candy. Give your toddlers a list of the shapes they need to find, and let them go on a hunt.
Shape Sensory Bin
Fill a bin with different shaped objects, such as blocks, balls, and beads. Let your toddlers explore the bin and identify the different shapes. You can also add some Thanksgiving-themed items to the bin, such as leaves, acorns, and pumpkins.
Shape-tacular Crafts
Shape Turkey Craft
This is a classic Thanksgiving craft that is perfect for toddlers. Trace a turkey shape onto a piece of paper, and let your toddlers decorate it with different shapes. They can use construction paper, markers, crayons, or paint.
Shape Pilgrim Hats
These hats are a fun and easy way to get your toddlers into the Thanksgiving spirit. Cut out a circle from a piece of construction paper, and then cut out a strip of paper that is long enough to go around your toddler’s head. Glue the strip of paper to the circle, and then decorate the hat with different shapes.
Shape-cellent Games
Shape Bingo
This is a fun and educational game that is perfect for Thanksgiving. Create a bingo card with different shapes on it. As you call out shapes, have your toddlers cover the matching shapes on their bingo cards. The first toddler to cover all of the shapes on their card wins.
Shape Charades
This is a classic game that can be adapted to teach toddlers about shapes. Write down different shapes on pieces of paper, and then have your toddlers take turns acting out the shapes. The other toddlers have to guess which shape is being acted out.
