4 Adapted Crafts for November

Simple visual thanksgiving crafts for special education students with real picture visual directions and adapted materials!

Each month in my special education self-contained classroom I loved to come up with fresh, new, hands on crafts to meet student goals. These November crafts focus on both November and Thanksgiving themes and these crafts might be some of my favorite crafts yet!

Using crafts in the special education classroom is SO rewarding but can also have many challenges. Making sure each craft is differentiated, meeting student goals, and prepped for student success (and less frustration) is absolutely vital to be successful. I used to spend many hours searching blogs and Pinterest for the perfect craft for each holiday, and then spend MORE hours adapting that craft, prepping an example, and creating visual directions so we could also work on student goals. I asked some other special education teachers and they were feeling the same exact way, and that is how Simple Crafts came to be.

The best part about Simple Visual Crafts is the real picture step by step directions and symbol visual support lists. These two things make this resource like no other and SO easy to prep for special education classrooms.
