Soda Bottle Turkey | Stir the Wonder #kbn #thanksgiving #finemotorskills #finemotorfridays

When this idea first stuck me I was thinking on a much smaller scale! And I will probably do that too, but when I remembered that I had some large colorful feathers I thought it would be fun to make a big fine motor turkey! And boy did we have fun with this turkey!

To make this big turkey, I used an empty, rinsed and dried two liter soda bottle. I squirted some brown paint inside and swirled it around until it completely covered the inside. Once the paint was dry or mostly dry (it took a couple of days) I added a face. For the face I used two yellow googly eyes given to me for free from CraftProjectIdeas.com, an orange tear drop shaped foam sticker, and a piece of a red pipe cleaner folded in half (also a gift from CraftProjectIdeas.com).  Then poked holes in the back with a screwdriver. I would have used an awl, but I couldn’t find it. I also pre-poked the feathers to make sure it wouldn’t be too difficult for Caden.

Caden was very eager to do this activity and jumped right in as soon as I brought it out! He knew just what to do! And had a great time sticking the feathers in the soda bottle turkey!

He concentrated very hard, didn’t get frustrated or upset, and focused his attention well. I am one proud mama!

So proud 1

Caden is also very proud of himself and posed for a picture to show Daddy his turkey.

Cheese!

Cheese!

 

Happy Fine Motor Friday!

    I saw the picture and immediately wondered how you painted it. Putting the paint inside – genius! This makes such a fun decoration!

    That’s a pretty cute turkey! We made one from a milk jug a couple years ago! We may have to make some little ones like this next year!
