Thanksgiving crafts: Native American handprint name tags

We were looking for a very simple craft to work into our discussion at home about Native Americans and this triangle teepee craft was perfect to show an element of the culture that our young daughter could understand. As a bonus, this craft also lent itself towards easily being a shape craft (all triangles), and size discrimination lesson (big versus little), a very simple scissor skills craft and a fun letter T craft as well. This teepee is a wonderful craft for the young preschooler set…

The students first made a watercolor background, then added pattern to a teepee, and finally added sticks and a flap for a door. Fun lesson!
