Tales for Tots: Good Night, Sleep Tight

momstown Edmonton meets every month at Beaners in Sherwood Park for our kids' book club Tales for Tots sponsored by Scholastic Canada. This month, we got to read the fantastic book Good Night, Sleep Tight by Mem Fox. What a great read aloud bedtime book! In classic Mem Fox style, the story has a wonderful flow that just begs to be read aloud over and over again. There are several repeating phrases that the kids said with me as we read the story. They loved it! My son loved it so much, I have heard him "reading" it to his brother almost every day since. After reading, we did our draw and Erica was the lucky recipient who got to take it home!

This month we've been looking at turkeys, so we decided to make pine cone turkeys. These are really easy, and fun for the kids! See below if you'd like to make your own! 

What you need:
-pine cones 
-white glue (or hot glue)
-feathers (with the stems cut off)
-googly eyes
-orange foam cut into triangles

What you do:
1. Glue the feathers into the pine cone. Make sure that the flat part of your pine cone is the front.
2. Glue the eyes and orange foam onto the flat part of the pine cone. 
3. Let dry!
