Thanksgiving Timeline

We have one more activity that you can work on this season with your little ones.  We read The Very First Thanksgiving several times the past couple of weeks.  The paintings in the book are beautiful, and it tells the story of the Pilgrims, how they came to America, and the first Thanksgiving. 

The order of the story starts at the first Thanksgiving and works backwards, so we talked about chronology several times.  Save for the fact that E is still convinced the Pilgrims came over on the “Cauliflower” and landed at “Pilgrim Rock” its been successful.  The book though got me wishing I had a timeline of events to work through with her, and that’s when I decided to make this:

This timeline is one you can print off and work together after you read through a storybook about the Pilgrims.  Just put the pictures in order of the events as they happened, or you could glue them to a sheet of construction paper.

Here are some books about Thanksgiving several of them would work great for this activity.  You can buy them through the link, or you can jot down titles and check them out at the library!
