A Thanksgiving Feast

Posted by Cindy on November 19, 2007

We are part of such a wonderful co-op!  Every year we attend a Thanksgiving Feast the Monday before Thanksgiving.  Each year focuses on an historical time period – this year happened to be the 1950′s.  The moms work to prepare eight different stations that teach the children about the food, clothes, games, and general lifestyle of the times.  Groups of children travel around the stations having all sorts of fun!  This year’s stations included clothing styles, fast food sampling, toys of the decade, games of the decade, popular books & tv shows, popsicle stick creations, paint by number, and beaded bracelets.

We usually end the day with a traditional Thanksgiving meal, but this year called for food from the 50′s.  We ate hot dogs, french fries, mac n’ cheese, jello and rice krispy treats.  Let’s just say the kids probably enjoyed the meal a tad more than the adults.
