Mom to Mom – Stuff the Turkey
Today on Mom to Mom, we have a simple Thanksgiving-themed activity for your toddler!
If you’ve got a busy toddler, they’re absolutely going to love this! It’s a game called “Stuff the Turkey,” and it gets their fine motor skills working as well.
What you’ll need for this DIY is a small plastic bottle, some feathers from the craft store, some little pompoms, glue, tape, clothing pins, googly eyes, and construction paper.
Let’s put this little guy together, and then I’ll tell you how they can stuff the turkey!
First, glue some googly eyes to your plastic bottle, then cut out your beak for your turkey out of the construction paper. Grab about three or four feathers, tape them together to look like a turkey tail and glue that to the back of your bottle. Now your empty bottle looks like a little turkey!
Your toddler plays “Stuff the Turkey” by using the clothespin to pick up little pompoms and putting them inside the bottle. Learning how to maneuver the clothespin helps them develop their fine motor skills and keeps them entertained! They can fill the bottle up as much as they want, so it keeps them busy for quite some time.
If you have any great ideas, we’d love to hear about it. You can message us on our Mom to Mom Facebook page. We’ll see you on the next Mom to Mom.
