Littles Learning Link Up: Thanksgiving Round Up


Welcome to Littles Learning Link Up. Each month you will find:
  • A seasonal round-up (toward the beginning of the month)
  • A guest post featuring crafts, activities, tips, snack ideas or other early childhood topics. (toward the end of the month)
  • Posts where I share what I have been up to with my preschoolers and/or early elementary children.
Each week, I will host a link up, where you can share either what you have been up to recently, or old posts that may go with the theme.  Feel free to link up more than one post.

Each week I will continue to feature a couple of posts from those that have been linked up. 

I hope you will continue to share your wonderful posts, and I hope you will find something new to try with your child.

It would be great for everyone to stop by and visit the other linked-up posts as well. Check them out, leave some comments, pin those that interest you. Let's make this a real party and socialize with each other.

It's time for this month's Round Up

Here in the United States, Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I asked some fellow bloggers to help me bring you some of their great Thanksgiving-themed ideas. Once again, I was inundated with crafts, activities, printables, and food ideas. There are so many creative moms and teachers out there, and I am so excited to be able to share their ideas with you.
