Fun Thanksgiving Perler Bead Patterns

November 4, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

My daughter went through a pretty intense perler bead stage a few years ago. She loved making and melting her own pixel art. It’s a fun way to work on fine motor skills, following a pattern and more.

 

Crafty Morning has a fun collection of easy Perler bead patterns with a Thanksgiving theme, including leaves, a turkey and fall foods.

These would be fun to make for younger kids and add to a Thanksgiving or fall themed sensory bin, or let older kids make themselves. You could even turn them into napkin ring decorations or use them on the holiday table.

Get the designs from Crafty Morning.

Resources for Learning about George Washington Carver

March is Peanut Month, so it’s a great time to spend some time learning about the life and legacy of George Washington Carver. While he is known as a scientist who explored many different uses for the peanut, he also worked to help diversify agriculture among Black farmers, encouraging crop rotation and natural fertilization methods to enrich the soil.

He “creative chemistry” methods resulted in more than 280 products that could be made from peanuts as well as more than 150 made from sweet potatoes. You can read a full bio and learn about some of these products from Tuskegee University. This slide presentation covers his early life as well as his work in agriculture, science and has some activities like fact/opinion, similarities and differences and a quiz for kids to take at the end.

Calm and Wave has a unit study for George Washington Carver on Teachers Pay Teachers, but their blog post has some good information and resources, too.

Another great mini history lesson found on Teachers Pay Teachers is from Look We’re Learning. Her blog post goes into a lot of detail about what’s included.

The Mailbox has a mini booklet you can print that has space for kids to draw picture related to his life.

If you want to get into peanuts, you can plant peanuts and learn more about how they grow, or make this paper plate peanut plant craft from Happy Toddler Playtime.

Here are a few more quick projects and printables to use when you’re doing a George Washington Carver unit:

  • Art for Kids Hub: How to Draw George Washington Carver video
  • Monster Word Search: George Washington Carver word search
  • Education.com: George Washington Carver coloring page
  • Playground Park Bench: Painting with peanuts

My blog post linked at the very top has some books you might want to check out to learn more about him. And if your kiddos can handle peanuts, throwing in some peanut themed snacks would be a great way to round out a GWC day!
