The 105 page November Art and Activities packet is filled to the brim with November-themed activities you'll be thankful for, as the "craftivities" are quick, easy and fun for your students.

Some full color pictures, copy-ready patterns and step-by-step directions for each project are included.

"Craftivities" help increase listening and following direction skills, as well as provide practice for improving cutting and other fine motor skills.

Completed projects can be used as gifts, bulletin boards, hallway and classroom decorations or for portfolios.  Many make great keepsakes for parents, such as the footprint turkey pictured.

Some of the projects include songs and poems to reinforce these concepts.

Others help discuss traditions of Thanksgiving and introduce history and vocabulary, such as the lunch bag cornucopia and the Indian corn made with melted crayon shavings.
