​To kick off this Christmas season, download this page of holiday cards for your family to make and gift to loved ones or someone you want to show appreciation to. These cards are perfect for a seasonal service project. Color them and send them to those that might need a little extra cheer right now. The possibilities are endless: military stationed overseas, residents of an assisted living facility, healthcare workers, first responders, teachers, elderly neighbors that can’t be around family for the holidays, or really anyone! Pair them with a treat or include them in a care package. If you have a particular facility in mind, be sure to check their website or give them a call to see what they are currently accepting. Organizations that ship to military overseas usually have a cutoff date in order to ensure delivery by Christmas and many of these deadlines have passed this season, so unless you know someone personally that’s serving, this might not be an option this year. I’ll round up a list of organizations earlier next year! You’ll want to read over the instructions for any organization you would like to take cards or packages to. They often have requirements, like packaging cards in bulk without envelopes and avoiding glitter. Brainstorm with your family to come up with other possibilities around your community!

Thanksgiving is here and then on to Christmas! I’m ready for both! These will be my last fall printables for the year - a Thanksgiving Word Search and a Thanksgiving Letter Search. There are two word searches. The words are the same, but the arrangement is different.

​The letter search is ideal for little ones learning their letters. This is how I plan to use it with my preschooler: I’ll go through each letter with her to help her practice letter names and sounds. I’ll give her a different color of marker for each letter and ask her to circle them and count them. Because she can’t write her numbers on her own yet, I’ll lightly write the number on the line (in pencil) that she tells me, and then she’ll trace it. You could also use a variety of crayons to color over each letter in the key, hand over the crayons, and let them get to work circling. Of course, you could just give your child a pencil to count and write. Color-coding just makes it a little more fun and will help them keep track of the letters they find.

Our Thanksgiving plans are a little different this year, as I’m sure many of yours are! Since we won’t be getting together with extended family, I plan to have some activities around for my kids during Thanksgiving break. This Build A Turkey activity will help entertain my younger kids, at least for a little while! The turkey is in pieces, ready to be colored or painted, cut out, and assembled. Because of the separate pieces, painting would be especially fun for young kids that get annoyed when their watercolor paint colors touch and mix. If you want to prop the turkey up, like the one pictured, make a triangular, tent-like shape out of cardstock and glue the turkey on. Otherwise, glueing it onto construction paper would work great, because it’s a little larger than regular printer paper. Depending on the amount of feathers you’d like to use, you might want to print the feathers page twice.
