Well, today is Wednesday…but technically, it’s like Friday-which means it’s cooking day! Today’s cooking activity is pumpkin pie pudding-mmmmmm! For this activity, you will need enough vanilla pudding mix for all of your students, plus a can of pumpkin pie filling-NOT plain canned pumpkin. Oh, and milk to make the pudding, of course!
First of all, have your students help you make the pudding according to the recipe on the box. You can mix it in a bowl, or you can pour the ingredients into a zipper bag and have the students shake it and knead it. Help each student scoop a serving of pudding into a cup, then mix in a spoonful of the pumpkin pie mix. If you want, you can top the pudding with whipped cream (or whipped topping) and graham cracker crumbs.
For fine motor, have your students make a turkey….give them a turkey body cut-out (or let them cut the body out themselves). To make the body, just draw a bowling pin shape on brown paper. Have them cut out circles for eyes, two orange triangles for feet and one for a beak, and multicolored ovals for feathers, and glue them to the turkey body cut-out.
For math, have your students vote on their favorite Thanksgiving food-turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, or pumpkin pie (or whatever foods you would like to include). Graph these on your classroom graph.
