Aiden and I shared a Thanksgiving family tradition with his class at Windy Hill this week... apple turkeys! There are many different versions of this craft out there, but ever since I was a child we made ours with apples, cranberries, raisins and mini-marshmallows. It was a sort of controlled chaos in the art room at Windy Hill as 15 kids stuck the four ingredients together in every conceivable combination using only toothpicks and their imaginations. Some turkeys had 100 legs, others a single feather, and still others were covered completely with gorgeous mallow plumage. Few of the creations were recognizable as turkeys to anyone but their owners, but that was definitely not the point. We had lots of fun, ate lots of mini-marshmallows, and shared something we love. At the end of the visit, we lined all the turkeys up in the school's foyer so that everyone could see the lovely trail of turkeys as they walked in. Hopefully we can share something else again soon. Happy Thanksgiving!
