A Story + Art = A Great stART!

This week we read Five Silly Turkeys, by Selina Yoon. This is a fun counting book where five turkeys have a great time doing some very silly things. Emily enjoyed pretending to dance and twirl around like the turkeys.

We have already made a few turkey projects already, but when I went to my friend’s house and saw this cute q-tip painting turkey I knew that Emily was going to make one to go along with this book this week! (Thank you Dawn for the idea!!)

I spread paint out on a piece of white paper and then gave Emily q-tips to spread out the paint. I told her to make it look like the turkeys we have been making.IMG_0267 Emily added a wiggly eye, and painted on the beak, snood and feet.

Great project! We have been reading that book this week also.

I am so very impressed! There is no way Anna would draw anything even remotely resembling an actual turkey, and she is quite a bit older.

What a beautiful turkey she painted! We'll be doing lots with turkey books and craft projects in the next few days too. So much fun!

Jenny said...

That is a cute and simple idea! How fun!

Wow, I am so impressed with Emily's turkey. She did such a fantastic job. I would be framing that!

I am bookmarking the See Saw Ryhme for baby number 3 - it's very sweet.

This has been one of my sons favorite books this month. I am really impressed with how well she did with the q-tip painting. It looks great!
