I love using them for seasonal centers and for decorating around the classroom. Keep in mind that vertical names can be difficult for some kids. While you don’t have to avoid them completely, it’s better to start with name building crafts that sit horizontally. Here’s how we made our ornament names: I started out by editing and printing the Christmas ornaments on red cardstock. After cutting them out and punching holes at the top, I added silver glitter. (You can also use glitter glue for easier clean up!) Once the glue was dry I strung the ornaments. Now they’re ready for decorating the classroom, Christmas tree, or mantle! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69062b30e9805e77c7ca29cb/6812fe6e-41a9-40fe-8cb5-53dfbbf9dc33/christmas+names.jpg Blog - 3 EASY WAYS TO PRACTICE NAME RECOGNITION IN DECEMBER If you want to see more of the resources highlighted in this post, you can click the link here ⬅️ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69062b30e9805e77c7ca29cb/19469b0b-bdf9-4fa6-9d00-14ea61ba21b9/PXL_20201201_181246691.jpg Blog - 3 EASY WAYS TO PRACTICE NAME RECOGNITION IN DECEMBER - Fill the name For this name mat we were using mini erasers to fill in the letters. But they can be filled with anything! Try dry erase markers, finger paint, pompoms, Legos, or Play-doh. One of my favorites is gluing tissue paper onto the letters as it incorporates tearing, pinching and coordination – three important skills for learning to write! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69062b30e9805e77c7ca29cb/c4eb9469-28f0-4e05-afcf-9ee5f9dbdda4/PXL_20201215_145753402.jpg Blog - 3 EASY WAYS TO PRACTICE NAME RECOGNITION IN DECEMBER - Find the name The last idea I have to share with you is a sensory gel baggy. This one is so simple and is so engaging! First, fill a freezer bag with hair gel. I used green gel but you can also use clear and add food coloring. Once it’s filled add in mini pompoms, beads, or beans – something that can be moved around. Tape the gel baggy onto the table and slide a sheet of paper with the child’s name underneath. (In the photo below you can see a letter Bb worksheet under the baggy – another fun way to use these sensory bags!) For little ones, move the gel around until the name can be seen. For older ones, push all the pompoms into place with the letters of their name. https://www.bugandpeach.com/blog/thanksgiving-arts-and-crafts monthly 0.5 2025-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69062b30e9805e77c7ca29cb/3ed82100-a673-49e3-90e4-9fd8611836e6/PXL_20201105_151702547+%281%29.jpg Blog - Thanksgiving arts and crafts God tells us in His Word to live in thankfulness, and practicing gratitude is actually really good for our well-being! I like to use the Thanksgiving season to teach my littles how to be thankful for the big and little blessings we have. This is another classic craft that comes in many forms. For ours, we used watercolors on the feathers. *Hot tip I learned from a seasoned teacher - tape over brown and black on the watercolor tray to avoid turning everything muddy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69062b30e9805e77c7ca29cb/a8bead24-d0d0-4300-b8a5-73fc31c8ab45/IMG_4372.jpg Blog - Thanksgiving arts and crafts This was a regular activity in my preschool classroom, and the kids loved it! To do this, pick a seasonal template. It can be anything, but this time we made pumpkins. Then cut up little squares of tissue paper. Direct students to scrunch the pieces up and glue them onto the template. This activity is great for developing a pinch grasp - an important pre-writing skill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69062b30e9805e77c7ca29cb/0e002456-c4dd-4ad6-ad27-1c0a462737f1/IMG_4376.jpg Blog - Thanksgiving arts and crafts Can't go wrong with a classic! There are very creative teachers out there that have made some absolutely adorable variations of this one. But we kept it simple.

The first thing we did was paint the background with a combination of pinks. After it was dry we folded a toilet paper roll into a hexagon, dipped it in gold paint, and stamped it onto the painting. The result was a beautiful piece of art that is now framed and hanging above our table. This art project had a few important benefits too: Fine motor practice with grip and painting Reinforce what was learned about the shape of honeycomb Opportunity for independent creativity and sensory exploration As you can see, there was so much more freedom with the second project. There wasn't really a wrong way to do it. I chose the materials, but I let my learner do what she wanted with them. In a full classroom, there would be a variety of creations that reflect each child's personality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69062b30e9805e77c7ca29cb/85755264-8e81-4f98-a2b2-1d2680b6f67a/PXL_20220913_182639274+%281%29.jpg Blog - Arts Vs. crafts and why we need them both This a a great example of a craft which we did for our honeybee unit.

(Food coloring works too, but gel coloring comes out less splotchy.) Next add enough rubbing alcohol to evenly coat the grains. (A lot of people use white vinegar for this, but I find that rubbing alcohol is more effective, the smell doesn't linger, and they dry faster.) Now mix the grains together in the bag until they are evenly coated. Lay your grains out on a baking tray to dry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69062b30e9805e77c7ca29cb/1762875546460-65TS4T45K67D0ADB9L4D/IMG_20200325_142232.jpg Blog - How to make the perfect sensory bin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69062b30e9805e77c7ca29cb/1762875541340-V8D4AN2E1E3ZSN7VDFXX/IMG_20200325_100015.jpg Blog -
