This month, we will “feed the turkey” as a two-for-one craft and sensory bin! Here are the materials we’ll need:
- Clean plastic water bottle
- Multi-color feathers (paper or craft)
- Eyes for your turkey
- A beak & wattle for your turkey
- A bin full of pom poms
- Jumbo tweezers (optional)
Steps:
Glue or tape the feathers onto the bottle
Glue the eyes onto the turkey
Glue the beak and wattle onto the turkey
Now that you have a perfect little turkey, It’s time to feed him! Fill a bin with pom poms, and let your little one fill him with pom poms through the bottle’s opening. This activity will build your child’s fine motor skills- strengthening their hand-eye coordination and pincer grasp. Both are essential pre-writing skills. For an extra challenge, use jumbo tweezers!
Happy crafting,
Ms. Jackie
