Winter Apple Snowflake Turkey Craft | Christmas Gift Ideas for the Classroom

Your class will show gratitude during the holiday season through this hands on Winter apple turkey or Christmas craft. It would make a perfect holiday gift for students to make for their families.

A turkey head and snowflake feathers will be decorated and hot glued to wooden skewers with the help of an adult. On each "snowflake" feather students will write about "Gifts in their life". The finished product is an adorable apple turkey which can be a table centerpiece for December holiday dinner tables.

Snow Globe Scenes Project

I just love snow globes and ran across this animated one that shows city scene snapshots of Los Angeles.

I plan to do my annual snow globe scene project with my third graders when I return after break.

It's a great winter project. A character is put into the globe and a creative storyline is written.

They always turn out so adorable.

You can grab this project in my TPT store.

Happy 2014!

Snowflake Snowman Door Decoration - Winter Activities for the Classroom

After reading the story The Biggest Best Snowman I've had my classes create a snowflake snowman to decorate our classroom door. This was at a previous school which had a standard door. The school I'm at now has a bigger window right in the middle of our door which we cannot cover, so if I decide to do my snowflake snowman it will have to be on a doorless object. So, back to my snowman. This is a collaborative snowman, similar to little Nell getting help from her animal friends to make a snowman in the story read aloud.

Give your kiddos die cut circles and have them create a gobzillion snowflakes out of them. Then make 3 snowballs and decorate your snow guy!

This snowman multiplication and division fact family craft would also be fun for your winter classroom activities.
