Indian Corn Lanterns

So fun to learn about the holidays with little ones!  We have continued to read about the history of Thanksgiving.  We have enjoyed The Pilgrims First Thanksgiving by Ann McGovern along with fun Turkey books like Gracias The Thanksgiving Turkey by Joy Cowley.

The kiddos loved painting (more like stamping) with the bubble wrap and then of course lighting them up with the tea lights.

Happy Crafting!
