Invite them to \"stamp\" their plates to create a pumpkin. Twist a green chenille stem around a pencil (to make it curly), punch a hole at the top of the dried plates, and create a whimsical stem using the curled pipe cleaner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate a pumpkin template. Using a brown permanent marker, use the template to trace pumpkin shapes onto \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/c-395-contact-paper.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003econtact paper\u003c\/a\u003e. Peel the backing from the contact paper pumpkins and place it, sticky side up, on your students' desks. Invite them to fill in the pumpkin shape with pre-cut pieces of orange tissue paper and create a stem and leaves using brown and green construction paper or art tissue paper. Place a second sheet of contact paper over the tissue collage (so that the sticky sides face each other), use a gold metallic paint pen to trace around the pumpkin for extra embellishment (optional), and use a pair of scissors to cut out the final pumpkin shape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate pumpkin cutouts from orange construction paper. Provide students with actual pumpkin seeds dyed orange (using food coloring or liquid watercolor paints) and invite them to collage the cutouts with the seeds. You might also consider letting your students paint the seeds as a part of the craft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvide students with a large coffee filter and an orange marker. Invite them to color the coffee filter with the marker then, with a squirt bottle filled with water, mist the coffee filters.

Use bulletin board paper rolls to create the base of the scarecrow - black for the pants, orange for the head, and blue for the shirt and hat. Construction paper or card stock in assorted colors work great for the embellishments. Create and slightly crumble small strips of yellow paper to form \"straw\" fringe at the top and bottom of the scarecrow's shirt as well as at the end of each shirt sleeve and pant leg. Use this yellow fringe to create a mop of \"hair\" under the hat. Patches in assorted colors and buttons made from orange paper can be \"sewn\" on to the base pieces using black yarn. Small craft embellishments or paper pieces can be glued to the patches to provide an extra bit of flair. Add a fun scarecrow face with permanent marker, colored paper, and black yarn and your scarecrow is complete! 2) The Pumpkins. Use your students' creations! 3) The Other Embellishments.

With red and orange construction paper, fashion a wattle, a beak, and feet for the turkey and use a black marker to draw eyes onto the turkey cutout. Mount the turkey to the middle of the bulletin board.

Here are several ideas:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eButton Corn Cob. Create a card stock corn template - including both the ear of corn and its husk - inviting students to trace and cut out a cob from yellow card stock and its husk from brown construction paper or card stock. Provide students with buttons in various colors (e.g. red, brown, purple, yellow, white, etc.) and have them attach button \"corn kernels\" to the cob.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLunch Bag Indian Corn. Provide students with brown chenille stems, pony beads in various colors, and a brown paper lunch sack. Have each student string 3 pipe cleaners with pony beads. [NOTE: This could be a great time to discuss patterning and complimentary colors!] Place the beaded stems side by side and twist together the excess wire stem at each end. Create a corn \"husk\" by cutting a panel from the lunch bag and rolling\/twisting it until it is a long thin \"stick\". When unrolled the piece of lunch bag should retain the curve and crinkle. Place the beaded stems in the center of the unrolled paper and twist it at each end to secure the \"cob\" inside the \"husk\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePopcorn Corn Cob. Create a card stock corn template - including both the ear of corn and its husk - inviting students to trace and cut out a cob from yellow card stock and its husk from brown construction paper or card stock.

It might also be fun to use construction paper or fun patterned scrapbook papers to create \"patches\" on the scarecrow's clothing. [NOTE: You can use a large tapestry needle and yarn to actually sew the patches on the cutouts!] 2) The Fall Tree. Glashow purchased a large tree cutout and decorated it with vines of silk fall leaves (easily found at your local craft store). You could also freehand a tree cutout onto brown bulletin board paper and have your students make leaf crafts to decorate it.

Laurie then added a band of lighter orange paper and a sunflower to create visual interest and differentiate the brim from the rest of the hat. The design is super cute, but remember that you can customize the hat as you please! Add a colorful patch somewhere on the hat, use a fall leaf or colorful button cutout instead of a sunflower to decorate the band, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext, cut several strips of yellow bulletin board paper and arrange them to create the scarecrow's straw hair.

Cut a medium-size circle from brown bulletin board paper to create the turkey's 'body'. Use the same paper or a piece of brown construction paper to create the head and neck of the turkey, cutting a shape similar to a slim, filled in number \"8\" or a skinny bowling pin. Add construction paper details to the head\/body creating eyes, a beak, the wattle, and legs. Finally, you're ready for the feathers! 2) The Turkey Feathers. Cut long, thin strips of white or natural butcher paper. [NOTE: You'll need the strips as wide as a child sized hand print.] Set out each strip with a shallow dish of paint (making sure each dish contains a different color) and invite your students to work together to fill each strip with paint hand prints, fitting the prints vertically end to end until the strip is fully covered. Once dry, use scissors to trim the top of each strip to look like a feather. Depending on how big your turkey cutout is, it's likely you'll need to create more than one feather of each color in order to fully decorate the cutout. 3) The Thankful Hands Craft. It looks like the original design featured simple construction paper hand print turkeys - i.e. students were invited to trace and cut their hand print from brown construction paper, used markers to turn their fingers into feathers, and then added a construction paper beak and wiggle eyes to complete the face. There are, of course, numerous ways to do the craft!

To create the trees, cut circles of various sizes out of scraps of fall colored bulletin board paper (i.e. brown, red, orange, and yellow), then freehand trunks and branches from the brown bulletin board paper. Once the trees are assembled, add paper leaves.

[You'll end up with a vertical line of turkeys; the turkey accent labeled with the number one touching the floor and the largest number at the top. The amount of accents needed depends upon their individual size.

For many families, it's a chance to see out of town relatives and extended family - meaning dinner parties can get loud and crowded.

Cut a simple rectangle from brown bulletin board paper, attaching it to the center of the bulletin board, to create the 'table'. 2) The Characters. Find a picture or clip art image to represent each character in the logic puzzle and print the picture onto white card stock for sturdiness. Fold a large piece of construction paper in half (hamburger style), one for each picture, and paste the photos onto the paper making sure the folded edge is at the top of the image. Leaving the folded edge intact, cut around the outside of the picture to create a little flap that, when attached, will allow students to flip up the picture to reveal answers beneath. Attach the characters in their proper place around the Thanksgiving 'table' cutout. 3) The Interactive Part. Above each character, place a strip of Velcro. Use card stock and construction paper to create name cards. Laminate the cards to reduce wear and tear then attach the second half of the Velcro strip to the back of each card. 4) The Extras. Fill the empty spaces on the board with Thanksgiving themed cutouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SupplyMe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1734203310105,"sku":"A6886","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1418\/0968\/products\/Interactive-Thanksgiving-Logic-Puzzle-Bulletin-Board.jpg?v=1522782288"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1418\/0968\/collections\/IMG951218.jpg?v=1530027838","url":"https:\/\/www.supplyme.com\/collections\/thanksgiving-bulletin-board-ideas\/grade-1.oembed","provider":"SupplyMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
