Skip the Hand Turkeys! Try a Multiplication Turkey Craft

While the classic hand turkey craft has been a beloved tradition in many classrooms this year, why not shake things up a bit and turn your Thanksgiving activities into a robust learning opportunity? As educators, we understand the significance of aligning our classroom activities with the curriculum to make the most of precious teaching time. Instead of the standard hand turkeys, consider including a fun and educational Thanksgiving craft that not only engages students creatively but also supports essential math skills.
