Thanksgiving Crafts & Projects

Happy Monday & Thanksgiving week!! I wanted to share a couple of frugal, fun, and super creative crafts that I've seen around the community this month! It is my clinical opinion that functional communication is everywhere and the possibilities and opportunities for skills and development are endless with these and many other crafts. Some ideas for implementing and increasing communication skills and overall development include: narration of actions, labeling colors, exploring and discussing texture, turn taking, building on oral feeding skills, increasing imaginary play skills, collecting objects that are the same, practicing fine motor skills with cutting, discussing shapes, practicing "please/thank you" using signs and words, etc.

Materials Needed:

Paper plates
Construction paper of various colors
Paint/Paint brushes
Scissors
Smocks
Glue
Box/es
Tape
