Preschool-Kindergarten Horn of Plenty Cornucopia

What does a Horn of Plenty have to do with Thanksgiving?
It is a table decoration seen for many years that shows we should be thankful for all we get from God.

Since this is designed for small children, the entire explanation and history is probably too much. You can review the information on our cornucopia page for older kids. You may or may not want to tell them it is supposed to look like a GOAT horn!

SUPER EASY CUTTING FOR BEGINNERS.

Teacher
For very young children, or children with little experience using scissors, teachers please cut the fruit and vegetables page into 3 pieces on the dashed lines so it will all be easier for the children to cut out. This presumes you or other adult staff will be present and helping as needed with the cutting. Be sure you view our "using scissors" and cutting tips.

You can print out the picture of the completed horn to show them what it would/should look like.

Select each fruit or veggie with a word and help the children identify the word, the meaning, and which way is UP.

Thank you - what does it mean to thank someone? In this context, you are telling someone you know they (God) did something especially nice for you. (Gives us all our food)

God - our father in heaven

The horn is so full of fruit it falls out on the table!
