Light & Turkeys
Our friends went on a turkey hunt — but there was a twist! The turkeys were hiding in the dark, so we had to use our flashlights to find them.
Everyone had so much fun exploring, shining their lights, and discovering where the sneaky turkeys were hiding!

Gobble, Gobble!
The Threes lab student taught a fun and feathery lesson all about “10 Fat Turkeys Sitting on a Fence!”
Then, our friends joined in the fun by placing their own turkeys on the fence — what a silly turkey parade!

Exploring Process Art
Our little artists in the Threes had so much fun creating their own "wardrobe" masterpieces! Through process art, children freely explored colors, shapes, and textures using markers and paper shapes.
As they drew, glued, and layered their artwork, they practiced fine motor skills, creativity, problem-solving, and self-expression — all while having a wonderful time with friends!
