A few years ago, to have some fun with the kiddos during the Thanksgiving holiday, I drew a naked turkey badly in need of some feather covering. Then we drew feathers, put them on the empty plates before Thanksgiving dinner, and wrote on each feather what we were grateful for. We then put the feathers on the turkey, to cover his nakedness, and as a reminder to us of the many things with which we have been blessed. It was fun to see everyone's feathers, as well as have a little activity to get the family talking and discussing the real "meat" of the Thanksgiving season. I couldn't find a decent version of the file I created a few years ago, so I redid it, painted it and painted new feathers for people to use for this year's holiday.
By clicking on the actual picture, it should bring up a fairly good resolution picture you can print, cut out, and put on your wall if you want to have a little activity for your family this year. Please feel free to use it at home.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
