Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
Paper and large child-appropriate crayons.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Stay with the child throughout. Check the space and supplies, including anything within reach of younger siblings. Skip any activity that is unsuitable. Stop if a child puts non-food material in their mouth or becomes distressed. Use intact books, full sheets of paper, a large child-appropriate crayon and a clean, dry towel. Follow product labels; remove torn paper and keep broken crayons and caps away from children. Adult handles and stores supplies.
Set up: An adult draws a large oval body if the child wants help.
Adult's role: Stay beside the child and help draw shapes if wanted.
Let's make it happen
- Draw an oval body, a small head, two legs, and a beak.
- Add a fan of large feather shapes behind the body.
- Choose colors for the feathers and add a background if you like.
Make it simpler: Color an adult-drawn turkey and its feathers.
Clean up: Put away the paper and crayons.
Adult stays beside the child.
