Thankful Hands

Our window art project for this month is a "Thankful Hands" display. We traced both kids' hands twelve times and R helped me write the numbers 1-24 on each of the hands and stick them to our window--one hand for each day leading up to Thanksgiving this year.

Here she is just after we put the hands all up on the window. I traced and cut out the Thankful Hands letters for the poster and she glued them on for me in the right order. R also traced her own hand (I cut it out for her) and decorated it, writing her own name on it. 

She then made another hand that she traced and cut out entirely independently on which she wrote RUS's name as well as drew herself and RUS.

So far, through the first 8 days of November, the kids have been thankful for: Teeth, Daddy, Flower, Panda, Birthday Parties, Dragon, Vanilla Ice Cream, and Grammie and Grampy.

It's been hard to get RUS to really volunteer much that makes sense so R has done almost all of the identifying things to be thankful for. We then talk about the things they are identifying and describe why we're thankful for those things. It's been a lot of fun so far!
