“Thanksgiving is coming! Gobble, Gobble, Gobble and I know just what to do. I will run and hide until the day is over, over, over. That’s what I will do!!” As a child, my mother used to sing this song to us, and it still holds a special place in my heart. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I’m excited to share Fun and Engaging Turkey Activities For Little Learners to make this holiday even more meaningful and purposeful.
As Thanksgiving approaches, there are many turkey-themed activities that can be planned for little learners to make the holiday more exciting and educational.
