The cornucopia, or the "horn of plenty," is an ancient symbol of abundance and nourishment. This horn-shaped basket filled with fruits, vegetables, nuts, and flowers is a symbol of an abundant harvest, and the sharing of that abundance with friends and family. For this reason, it is often associated with the season of Thanksgiving. 

After a brief explanation of this symbol, learners will have the opportunity to use the teacher-provided worksheet to reflect on how they experience abundance in their own lives, and what they are thankful for. Then, we will create our own cornucopia collages. 

We will use cutouts from magazines and colored paper, drawings, or the teacher-provided coloring sheet and template to represent the things that we are grateful for. We will glue these items into a cornucopia to create a collage that portrays the abundance we are thankful for in our own lives. 

Learners will receive a PDF packet with scaffolded activities to provide for a range of ages. Younger children can use the coloring sheet or template while more advanced learners will have the opportunity to explore their own creative collaging processes. All ages are welcome!
