Remember our button practice turkey?
He needed a friend.
I saw a clever activity like this
on a preschool blog (Montessori Beginnings) with a
paper plate turkey and feather clothespins.
I loved the feathered clothespin idea
so of course, I had to whip out my glue gun
the other night and make some of our own.
(while I was cooking dinner --
we seem to do a lot of last minute crafts this way!)
I also drew a turkey for "C" on a piece of
stiff brown felt
with Sharpie markers.
Great fine motor, pinching, practice
for my favorite 3-year-old!
You can see my favorite 7-year-old
in the background sitting at the piano
(she was playing "Over The River and Through The Woods" for us!)
We made two turkeys;
one to keep at home
and one for my daughter's preschool class.
Gobble! Gobble!
Fondly,
pink and green mama,

Ooooh! I love this idea! It makes a simple color game so much more fun! And I love that we can reuse stuff from around the house to make this.
What a perfect activity! Love it! Thanks for sharing! Kerri
This is such a great idea! It will be a wonderful gift for the grandparents and will give S1 a chance to practice reaching one of his OT goals. Thank you for posting!
Oh, I'm going to make some of these! We've been practicing with clothes pins last week -- this is perfect timing. Thanks.
Thanks Tom!
Even if you don't want to make turkeys (or let the kids make their own with cardboard/stiff felt/ or paper plates) the feather clothespins are really fun!
