We made turkey wreaths in kindergarten

The kindergarten class made these fun turkey wreaths the other day and I got to pitch in for a bit and help out!

They started out with a simple paper plate…

Then they traced their own foot on brown construction paper…

And cut them out…

Next they traced and cut out a waddle, a beak, and turkey toes…

Then glued it all to their paper plate…

Then it was time to add the colorful feather loops. The kindergarten teacher taught the children a “10 second” gluing rule. The children learned to put the glue on their loops then stick the two ends together and count to 10 before letting go so the glue would firmly hold the pieces together. I heard some major counting going on – and often times the children would count way past the number 10 🙂

After counting, the children added their paper loops to their paper plate…

And finished with a bright and colorful turkey wreath of their very own!

Thank you to A Mommy’s Adventures for sharing her post on making these cute turkey wreaths!

Every time I think I know everything I need to know about teaching young children, God says, "Hold on a minute!" and gives me a new challenge.

Let me tell ya...

With each new challenge that you overcome, you will find yourself better equipped and more passionate about teaching young children.

God didn't call wimps to lead, teach, or care for His children. Nope, he has high expectations, so get ready. You will have to give your very best but after teaching for over 30 years, I can tell you that it is a wonderful and rewarding journey.

Whenever your calling feels hard, just remember, 'He who began a good work in you (and in the children you serve) will be faithful to complete it.'
