Turkey Activity

This is a Thanksgiving turkey activity and decoration used by my favorite COTA ~ Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant, who has worked at a long term care center.

ACTIVIY: Button and unbutton colorful turkey feathers onto the turkey body.

putting the resident’s hands into motion!

Make the turkey before hand: Use Light color felt, and cut a pear shape body.

Sew the PEAR shape onto a darker color felt shape that has been cut out with the outline of a turkey back - a solid silhouette of feathers.

(Cut the back piece large enough to sew on colorful buttons.)

Make a large variety of colored feathers with slits for buttonholes in them to button and unbutton.

Paint, or cut out felt feet, and face pieces to attach with glue or stitching.

Have participants button on the feathers! Happy Thanksgiving!

Proverbs 31: 10-31

10. Her price is far above rubies. 11. The heart of her husband does safely trust. 12. She will do him good. 13. She seeks the wool and flax. 14. She brings her food from afar. 15. She rises while it is yet night. 16. She considers a field. 17. She girds her loins with strength. 19. She lays her hands to the spindle. 20. She stretches out her hands to the poor. 21. She's not afraid of the snow for her household. 22. She makes herself coverings. 23. Her husband is known. 24. She makes fine linen and sells it. 25. She rejoices. 26. She opens her mouth with wisdom. In her tongue is the law of kindness. 27. She eats not the bread of idleness. 28. Her children rise up and call her blessed. 29. She excels. 30. A woman that fears the Lord. 31. Give her the fruit of her hands.
