Thanksgiving is a time for families to gather together to give thanks for all their blessings. It’s also a wonderful time for preschool and school age children to learn about our nation’s history.
A fun way to teach children about the Pilgrims and their trip to the new world in the Mayflower and that first Thanksgiving is to use puppets.
Here is a set of Thanksgiving puppets that includes Pilgrims and their ship, Indians (Native Americans) and a turkey puppet.
This is a wonderful plush puppet set.You can also make your own paper Thanksgiving puppets of the Pilgrims and Indians and tell the story of the first settlers to America and how thankful they were after their long journey and that first harsh winter to finally discover the promise and plenty that this new land held.
Here is another wonderful plush Thanksgiving turkey puppet that makes a great gift for Thanksgiving and can also be used to tell a fun Thanksgiving puppet story like A Turkey for Thanksgiving that tells the story of some animal friends who want to have a turkey for Thanksgiving but not to eat, instead he becomes the honored guest at the harvest feast.
You could also act out a Thanksgiving scene with these cute Thanksgiving turkey pilgrim finger puppets.
