Mommy's Little Helper: Turkey Feather Count

Turkey Feather Count

Later this week we will be doing a Turkey Themed day. This is one of the activities we will be doing. It is a Turkey Feather Count.

First I typed in turkey clip art on a search engine and found this cute guy. I printed off five copies onto cardstock, cut it out and then numbered them 1-5.

Side Note: I did cut feathers off of him.

Then I cut out 15 different feathers on different colored cardstock. You could use all of the same color if you wanted or a variety like I did.

The final step is all for your child to take care of. :) Lay out the five turkeys and have your child match the corresponding number of feathers to each turkey (1= 1 feather, 2= 2 feathers, and so forth)

I think this will be a hit out our house, I'm hoping anyway!

Check out our entire Turkey Themed day!

Jackie Higgins said...: This is so cute. I had seen an idea to roll a die and put that many feathers on a turkey but my little one (age 2) seemed confused by the two step (roll the die, count the feathers). This would be a little more straight forward. I think I'll also steal Little page turners idea and use popsicle sticks too. thanks for sharing!; November 28, 2010 at 12:20 PM
