Bible Fun For Kids: God Makes the Farm Animals: Turkeys

This is part of our preschool learning we did at home. It includes ideas that can be used at home to learn about God's creation. *This is intended for home use or preschool (or kindergarten) classes. They are not intended for Bible class.*

We began our study about the turkeys with these information posters I created. They are two to a page to save printing. They have a real photo and information text easy for preschoolers to understand and hold their interest. Click here to download the posters.

I put together notebooks for each person that included each habitat. I added the other animals we would be looking at like farm and pets to the same notebook. These farm animal posters were created to be able to see each farm animal. I used real photos and put two per page to save ink. Just cut down the middle after printing and they are ready to use. I kept them simple, but tried to find full bodies of the animals in their habitat. For instance, this farm pack had a different dog than the dog in the pet pack. Click here to download.

They love these long-legged turkeys! Once they were glued together, I asked them what they were thankful for and wrote it on each feather. Click here for a free template.

We finished the farm animals study with turkeys. This was the week of Thanksgiving, so we read all the books. I especially liked the following because of the references to being thankful to God and all He blesses us with:

Thanks For Thanksgiving & What is Thanksgiving?

They loved Happy Thanksgiving Day because of the Touch & Feel.

This book also gives thanks to God.

They liked 10 Fat Turkeys & The Night Before Thanksgiving.

We love Pete and my grandkids liked this about the Mayflower since they had a relative (George Soule) come over on it. Pete the Cat: The First Thanksgiving
