Tissue Paper Turkey

11/17/2020

Here is another easy to make fine motor turkey craft. You will need the turkey pattern ... glue ... tissue paper ... and scissors. Print the turkey on cardstock paper and cut it out (we glued ours on colored cardstock paper but you don't have to).

The next step is to cut or tear tissue paper into small squares and separate by color. Apply glue drops to the blank blank turkey feathers. We put glue in a small plastic bowl and the children dipped qtips in the glue and dotted it on the blank feathers.

The next step is to scrunch the squares of tissue paper and press them on to the glue dots on the turkey patter. We did one color per turkey feather but you can also just used mixed colors.

You can grab the tissue paper turkey patterns here.

owl number sliders for preschool and kindergarten math

The free membership printable this week is owl number slicers for number recognition and review as well as fine motor skills. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and laminated them.

Using and x-acto knife I sliced along the two lines on the owl. Taking one of the letter strips I pushed the left end up through the right slice of the helicopter and pulled it down through the left slice.

In this activity children pull the numbers strips through the owl and read the number that is displayed in the center of the owl. Once all numbers have been identified on the strip a new strip is put in.

flower number punch cards for preschool and kindergarten

I recommend printing on cardstock paper and laminating durability if you will be using these as clip cards. I have included both color as well as black and white patterns so you have a choice of which to use.

In this activity children pick a card and punch the dot under the number that matches the number on the flower. If you did not want to use a hole punch you could also clip the cards with clothespins or paper clips or even use buttons to cover up the dots.

You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday May 17th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added flower alphabet punch cards.
