Shape Turkey
Shape Turkey
When you are teaching shapes it’s easy to fall into a rut, this activity is a great example of how to mix shapes into art seamlessly.
- Gather your materials. You will need Various colors of construction paper, googly eyes, scissors, glue and markers.
- Give your child a piece of construction paper you have cut into a big square, have them decorate it with markers ( or crayons) if they are old enough you can ask them to draw the very first thanksgiving, or maybe a farm scene. If they want to just go abstract that’s perfect too.
- While your child is drawing cut out 5 hearts 4 large and one tiny.
- Next cut out a large oval, a rectangle , a small circle and a triangle.
- Time to start gluing! Start with your hearts. Arrange them so that the points are down , they are going to be the feathers.
- Next glue the oval lengthwise over the bottom of the hearts.
- Now the rectangle.
When something has to be glued in a certain direction I like to add the glue first so my son can see how it goes without me looming over him, then he can succeed on his own!
- Add the circle for the head.
- I did the googly eyes because my son was trying to put it in his mouth (will it never end?) , also add the triangle and tiny heart for a beak and waddle.
Song!
I have a turkey, big and fat.
He spreads his tail and walks like that.
His bowl of corn he would not miss
And when he talks, it sounds like this
Gobble Gobble Gobble!
He spreads his tail and walks like that.
His bowl of corn he would not miss
And when he talks, it sounds like this
Gobble Gobble Gobble!
