Around 4 or 5 years ago I looked up and printed out several Thanksgiving songs and rhymes for Ava. I'm pretty sure that I used this webpage here. I set a few personal parameters narrowing the list down to what would be appropriate for our family. (for example, nothing about eating the turkey. Even if that's what my 3or 4 year old was going to do, it still seemed macabre.) Now an annual favorite (and one of the most silly) it gains popularity with the flannel pieces that I made. (side note, while looking for the link with the lyrics I came across these felt pieces, and wow.)
(Tune: Skip To My Lou)
Turkey in the Brown Straw, Ha Ha Ha,
Turkey in the brown straw, Ha Ha Ha,
Turkey in the brown straw, Ha Ha Ha,
Turkey in the straw my darlin'
Turkey in the green tree, Hee Hee Hee,
Turkey in the green tree, Hee Hee Hee,
Turkey in the green tree, Hee Hee Hee,
Turkey in the tree my darlin'.
Turkey in the white snow, Ho Ho Ho,
Turkey in the white snow, Ho Ho Ho,
Turkey in the white snow, Ho Ho Ho,
Turkey in the snow my darlin'.
Turkey in the red barn,, Harn Harn Harn,
Turkey in the red barn,, Harn Harn Harn,
Turkey in the red barn,, Harn Harn Harn,
Turkey in the barn my darlin'.
Turkey in the blue sky,, High, High, High,
Turkey in the blue sky,, High, High, High
Turkey in the blue sky,, High, High, High
Turkey in the sky my darlin'.
This project came together quickly in one afternoon. I used ecofelt that I had on hand, and decorated with puffy paint. Ava's little hand plays the role of our turkey, the rest of the pieces were just quickly cut out. When we moved I left behind my felt board, so for now I'm using a scrap of blue felt wrapped around a box. (I'm such a perfectionist!)
