Thanksgiving Characters

Enlarged, these darling characters can be used in

bulletin board displays. You might like to make one
of them poster board size and attach it to your
classroom door. A word of Welcome
would be all you would need to
greet parents during parent-
teacher conferences.

These characters can also be used in a
flannel board story about Thanksgiving.
Cut out and color each illustration. Glue
a square of flannel to the back of the
picture and apply to the board as you
tell the story of the pilgrims.
