Don't Let Pigeon Eat the Pumpkin Pie!

Are your students as into the Pigeon books as my third graders?! If so they will love, LOVE the fall-inspired Pigeon craft I created and used in my classroom. First, I started by reading Don't Let Pigeon Ride the Bus, by Mo Willems. As a class we brainstormed ideas related to fall and autumn.

Our list included:


  • Playing in/raking leaves
  • Hunting
  • Carving pumpkins
  • Spending time with family
  • A Thanksgiving feast
  • Wearing warm clothes
Then, I encouraged my students to relate these fall-esque ideas to Pigeon. I shared with them my example...Don't Let Pigeon Eat the Pumpkin Pie.
I asked that students write on their "Don't Let Pigeon" half sheets before starting on their craft. Here are some of the ideas they came up with. 




I put all of the little cuties on the bulletin board outside of our classroom....and VOILA! Fall craft complete! 
Find this NEWLY UPDATED craft  in my TPT store! :)
