Mr. Turkey Color Recognition Felt Activity

This fun felt activity focuses on color recognition, it is a lot of fun to make and do with your preschooler. My son enjoys this one even though he is now a pro with colors. It fits the theme of Thanksgiving, but great for year around fun too! 
 
 Mr. Turkey is so sad, he has lost his beautiful colorful feathers. Have your little one help him find all of his feathers so that he can be happy once again!
 
 

Mr. Turkey was so sad.

He lost the feathers he once had.

Now he wants us to help him find all of the feathers of his kind.

We will look both high and low, we will fid them, don't you know.

Here's a red one and a blue.

Look, we've found a green one too.

Here's an orange one and a yellow, soon he'll be a feathered fellow.

Now we've found the purple one, black and white--we're almost done!

If we just look up and down, I know we'll find the feather brown.

Now, Mr. Turkey is so glad!

We found the feathers he once had!

PowerMyLearning.com Review

My kids and I are so excited to share this with our readers! I recently was made aware of this wonderful and very engaging educational website, PowerMyLearning-- It has become a fun part of our daily routine! Thanks to http://powermylearning.org/, a free non-profit website with everything Kindergarten-12th grade students need to get ahead academically! The site is home to hundreds of fun educational online games that are organized by grade level and subject. Many of the games incorporate characters and other fun things that your children know and love.


My youngest is 3 months shy of 5 years old and he cannot get enough of it! He will be entering kindergarten in September of 2014, so he is only in Pre-K, but there is so much for him to do! His favorite games are a series of Curious George games, that all work on different skills like number recognition, counting to ten, biggest to smallest, and addition. I cannot believe how easy it is for him to navigate and follow all of the games!  We have tried multiple educational websites that you have to pay for, in the end, I was not happy with the results. This website is completely FREE and I already have seen great results!
 
 
They even have a series of Sesame Street games! 
 

My oldest is in 7th grade and he also found a ton of fun activities and games. He watched a PBS video called "The Clemente Effect," about Roberto Clemente the famous baseball player and humanitarian that he did a report on for school earlier this year. He really enjoyed all of the games that have to do with learning foreign languages.
 
 
I encourage you to head on over and check out http://powermylearning.org/ with your children now! You will be amazed at how much fun your children can have while they are learning!
