I printed out these Turkey Placemats for my MOMS Club monthly meeting and the kids enjoyed coloring them!
Field Trip
We took the kids to Story Time at Barnes and Noble and the kids got to do a turkey headband craft.
Coloring their pictures and turkeys
Enjoying fresh baked cookies while wearing her turkey hat!
We also went to visit my brother-in-law, who is a firefighter. He was just moved to the station that is down the street from us, so the kids had a blast being shown all around the firehouse by their uncle.

Are you on Pinterest? I always have so many more ideas than what I actually use, so check out my Thanksgiving Theme Pinterest board if you are looking for more ideas.
That's all for this week! To see what other toddlers and preschoolers are learning this week, check out the official Preschool Corner website and Tot School Website!
Leaf Do a Dot Sheets
I've never really done these with M, but R LOVES them, and has gotten M hooked too.
Leaf Parts Beginning Letter Sound Matching
Which is Different worksheet
Leaf Counting Clip Sheets
Pre-Writing Sheets
I am still impressed with how well M is doing with these, compared to only a couple of months ago! I guess practice makes perfect!
Montessori Style Trays
Leaf Lacing
It's not a very good shot, but I punched holes in some not-too-dry leaves and R laced w/ a pipe cleaner while M laced with a shoe string.
Leaf Crunching
They crunched up the leaves into tiny pieces - what great fine motor practice!
Art
Leaf Glitter Art
They made pictures using glue and then added their crushed up leaves from the activity above as "glitter".
The finished pieces.
We went to a friend's house for a playdate earlier this week and she had an awesome little craft for the kids that fit right in with our theme this week! They used sponges to add leaves to these great trees.
M filled her tree with leaves!
R's was a bit more sparse - all his leaves had already fallen off! :)
Activities
Leaf Imprints in Playdough
Just for Fun
The kids LOVE all the leaves falling in our front yard and have been going out daily to jump in leaf piles!

Life
M had her end-of-semester ballet recital today. It was so cute! Her class is 3-5 year olds and most of them (including M) were completely clueless about what they were doing. :)
She's the little one in the middle. :)
R had his "friend" bday party this weekend. I can't believe he's almost 2!

We've been doing a lot of schooling right after we wake up lately, so forgive all the pajama shots! (Better than our post-nap no-pants shots that we usually do!). :)
Printables
Bat Roll & Color from 2 Teaching Mommies for M (roll die, stamp that number of circles) Color the Pumpkins from Oopsey Daisy for R (color the pumpkins the same color as the words)
R can match his colors, but had absolutely no desire to do it with this page!
So of course, my OCD girl had to correct him. At least she was nice about it:
"It's ok, you just need a little more learning. You'll get it when you're bigger!"
What's Missing from Lawteedah
Each sheet had 3 things different in each panel.
Instead of just circling them, she actually drew in what was missing.
R isn't in the picture, but he was trying to help point things out.
Pre-writing Sheet from Itsy Bitsy Learners
(Sign up for newsletter to get occasional freebies - this one was free for a couple days earlier this month!
Look how good she's getting!
Spooky Spooning
(We used white beans that I added ghost eyes and mouths to)
M used a baby spoon to add them to a tiny cube ice tray
R used a coffee scoop to add them to a cup
Spooky Sifting
They both sifted Halloween erasers out of bowls of rice.
Halloween Lacing
M laced some string through the tiny holes at the top of some plastic skeletons.
R laced his string through spider, bat, and skull rings.
Showing off their necklaces!
Activities
Spooky PE
I found some awesome movement cards from Oopsey Daisy that the kids loved!
Here they are rolling like pumpkins; some of the other favorite cards were flying like bats and marching like mummies!
Field Trips
M went to a Halloween themed birthday party last week!
Here they both are in their costumes, about to head off to another party!
It took a while for me to get the Jesse & Woody costumes together, but I love them!
Making pumpkin faces at a friend's Halloween Party
R needed a little help from daddy!
They also came to the Fall Carnival & Mini Trunk or Treat that my MOMS Club hosted, but I didn't manage to get any shots of them before daddy took them home!
The kids were really into helping in the kitchen this week.
Here they are helping me make biscuits.
M's legs are FINALLY long enough to ride the tricycle we bought her last year for Christmas.
Now to work on those pedaling skills!
