Because we like shape crafts and came up with these pumpkin shapes for Halloween, I thought of making a Thanksgiving version. This is how the pilgrim shape matching activity came to life.
It is a very simple activity for preschoolers and kindergartners to practice their shapes. It’s a craft and activity in one as the kids will create a few pilgrims and match the shape of the pilgrims with the names on the hats.
Great for practicing scissors cutting as well as a fun match activity.
