Thanksgiving is right around the corner and there are so many fun activities to do with your kiddos! You can gear any activity into a holiday themed one, all it takes is a little creativity. This activity will get your kids in a festive spirit AND help them practice their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
What you'll need:
-An empty container (I used a formula canister, but you can really use anything!)
-Tweezers (we have some bigger plastic ones that came with some water beads we ordered online)
-dried wheat
-a cut out of a turkey
1: Print out or make some kind of a turkey picture. Attach it onto your empty container.
2: Put some dried wheat in a bowl.
3: Pull out the tweezers and tell your kids to "feed" the wheat to the turkey.
*Activity Notes:
-if tweezers are too hard for your younger kids, switch them out for something else! You could try scoops, spoons, tongs, etc.
-if you don't have dried wheat, find something else that will fit inside your tweezers. You could try dried oats, cereal, beans, etc.
