Playdough Turkeys

Playdough Turkeys Fine Motor Activity For Preschool and Kindergarten
Gobble ... gobble!!  We made playdough turkeys today and the turned out so cute!!  All you need is playdough ... craft sticks or feathers ... wiggle eyes ... and construction paper.

Children made a large ball and smaller ball out of playdough.  They put the small ball on top of the larger one to make a turkey body.  They pressed wiggle eyes on to the head.  They cut a beak ... gobbler ... and feet out of construction paper and pushed them into the playdough.

The last step was to put the colored craft sticks (or feathers) into the back of the larger playdough ball for the turkey feathers.

Turkey Clothespin Counting Math and Fine Motor Activity For Preschool and Kindergarten
This is a great activity for a math center as well as for fine motor development.  I made turkeys without feathers and numbered them from 0-30.  I set the turkeys out on a table along with a basket of colored clothespins.

Children put the correct number of clothespins on each turkey and when they finished they removed the clothespins and put them back in the basket.  To make the turkeys strong enough to hold the clothespins I printed them on cardstock paper and laminated them.

Feather and Bead Lacing Fine Motor Activity For Preschool and Kindergarten
We love working on fine motor skills development in our class.  I purchased craft feathers from Michaels craft store and set them out with matching color pony beads.

Children put the same color beads on the feathers by lacing them onto the  bottom of the feathers and pulling them to the top. They laced as many beads as they wanted on each feather.

Once they had the beads on the feathers they counted how many beads were on each feather noting which feather had the most beads and which had the least.

Pilgrim Button Counting Math and Fine Motor Activity For Preschool and Kindergarten
I made a Pilgrim counting activity for math and fine motor development. Children place a number card on the pilgrim and then put the same number of buttons on the Pilgrim mat.

I printed the pattern on cardstock paper and glued it on a piece of colored cardstock paper.  The children also used jumbo tweezers to pick up the buttons and place them on the mat.

Pony Bead Counting Match Activity For Preschool and Kindergarten
I made ring bead counters for our math center.  The children really loved working with them and not only are they great for number recognition and counting but also for fine motor skills.
Bead Ring Counting Math Activity For Preschool and Kindergarten
I purchased large book rings from Staples but you can purchase them at any office supply store ... amazon.com ... and Walmart.  I also purchased round wood beads from Michael's craft store and wrote a number on each of the beads.

I placed a numbered wood bead on each book ring and then added the same number of pony beads as the number on the wood bead. Children then counted the number of beads on each ring.
