Thanksgiving-Themed Mayflower Craft
At Little One's Preschool, they did a fun Thanksgiving-themed craft focused on the Mayflower! The Mayflower was the ship that brought the pilgrims to America where they met the Native Americans. This craft had children make a ship out of their handprint and some white crepe paper!
Materials needed for the Mayflower craft
To create your own Mayflower you will need:
*Brown paint and Dark blue paint (acrylic or tempera works well)
*Paintbrush
*Light blue construction paper
*Cotton balls
*White crepe paper
*Glue
How to make the Mayflower craft
Follow these steps to make your Mayflower craft:
1. Lay down your light blue construction paper.
2. Cover your hand in brown paint.
3. Press your paint-covered hand in the middle of the light blue construction paper. This is the ship's body.
4. Use your paintbrush to paint-on the dark blue paint under the brown ship.
5. Wait for the paint to dry.
6. Glue the white crepe paper on the ship. These are the sails.
7. Glue the cotton balls above the ship. These are your clouds.
8. You have created your Mayflower craft!
