How to play the turkey feather game
Print turkey printable on card stock and cut out around outer edge. Laminate these for durability to use over and over again.
Fold the white strips on each side of the turkey around and tape the ends together to secure, creating a small hole in the middle.
Place a Styrofoam ball in the back of each turkey to poke the feathers into. This is optional as kids can just place the feathers inside the space but they won’t stick up as well. Another option would be to cut a toilet paper roll in half and tape this around the tube.
Use the other half of the tube and remaining craft feathers to make a toilet paper roll turkey!
Have so much fun adapting and playing this fun color matching turkey feather game with kids.
