How was Thanksgiving? What did you Learn on Break?

So how's school break going? What have you been up to? Cooking, eating, doing dishes, shopping online, watching the movie Frozen and wearing pajamas all day? Yep, I am right there with you.
We've done all of those things, plus we incorporated our home school curriculum into our holiday break. Mother Goose Time not only includes 20 plus days worth of activities, but a special holiday family celebration kit that represents the season.

This year we made a lovely thankfulness poster, and my son reflected on all of the family, friends and screen time that he is thankful for. Minor eye roll on my part regarding the feather that says "TEVE." We made festive, scented, homemade play dough turkeys. We read a short story about the first Thanksgiving. We made some cranberry and toothpick structures and even did a turkey dance.

The great thing about Mother Goose Time is that you can take a holiday, themed project, game or story and spread it out to fill those break times or let family in on your preschoolers learning. We also continued on with our rain forest theme. Grandma and Papa helped us make colorful parrots and play the chasing butterflies board game. Dad helped make some alphabet coconut trees read one of our favorites, "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom," to the whole family.

Overall, our little holiday break was a great success, in part to Mother Goose Time. We were lucky enough to receive this month's box in exchange for our honest experience. If you are considering trying this educational subscription box, I highly recommend ordering next month's box. The theme will be winter wonderland. I guarantee that it will fill your break with art, learning and family fun.
