Thanksgiving Shapes
The girls love doing things different and you can always use a printable different than you think! This time we use the shape book from the Thanksgiving Tot Pack to make a fun new activity. We made some Thanksgiving Shape Matching Activities!
What you need: Shape book from the Thanksgiving Tot Pack printed on card stock, craft sticks, crayons and tape.
First they colored the shapes.
I cut out the shapes for them and then taped the craft sticks on the back.
We reviewed the shapes and what was in them. It also helps that we have used the 3 part cards before this so they knew what the pictures are.
We played a little game. They got to pick up a paper with the words on it and I read it to them.
Then they matched it to the correct shape.
They did it until we had all the shapes and text matched up. We review what word was the name of the shape and which was the item.
Then they did some pretend play with the shapes and items.

Thank you for sharing your adorable printables. I was wondering if you use any special software to make your printables. I have tried to make some for my girls using Microsoft Word, but I thougth perhaps a scrapbooking program or something else might work better. Do you have any suggestions?
I use Open Office Draw and Photoshop.
Here is a link on how someone else does it that is close to what I do.
