After reading our Thanksgiving book a few times and talking about the Pilgrims, I thought it might be fun for the girls to play dress up and pretend to be Pilgrims. So, I did some searches (link, link, link), made some adjustments, and came up with these little hats made from craft felt.
Some things are better in theory.
They humored me by letting me take these pictures of them with their hats.
See this one?
I stalled the hat-pulling by offering a distracting leaf to Charlotte.
And this one?
She was too preoccupied by her intention of grabbing fistfuls of hay and throwing them to bother with the hat. As soon as I got a pic or two, I stopped the hay throwing and the hat came off.
Actually, Annabelle has played with her hat sporadically over the past couple days, which gives me hope that, in time, they’ll enjoy this type of dress up game.
I’ll be storing these in our Thanksgiving box in the hope that one day they’ll look forward to wearing their Pilgrim hats for Thanksgiving. I have this idyllic picture in my head of my two little squirts anxiously awaiting the opening of the holiday boxes so that they can don their hats and play Pilgrim again.
But, I’m not gonna hold my breath. 
I love your little Pilgrims!!!!!!!!!!
