A Preschool Thanksgiving Lesson: The Mayflower

A preschool Thanksgiving art lesson on the Mayflower. The boat is drawn using water soluble oil pastels which can be spread using a paint brush dipped in water. This is a great lesson to correspond with the holiday and teaching about lines and shapes. Be sure to talk about the different shapes that can be used to create parts of the picture.

Materials:

- water soluble oil pastels
- white paper
- paint brush
- water

Preparation:

Print out a picture of the Mayflower to use it to discuss the Pilgrims journey.  Ask your child what shapes they notice in the boat.
