How to Make a Feather Memory Game

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Pam on behalf of Expert Village and today I'm going to show you different art projects for kids. So here is a fun art project that not only can kids make but then they can play with after they do it. The first thing you want to do is, you can take a marker, a pen, a crayon, anything, and you want to draw a turkey feather. Now the better the artist the better your feather is going to look. But you let the kid color it, anything they want to do, decorate it, they can use glitter, anything they want, and then you have them cut it out. Now you want to end up with twenty one of these feathers. Now again, it's important to let the child cut it out. They're going to like it better if it's something that they've done all on their own. Now you want to do a variety of different colored feathers. You want to have, you know, purple, orange, brown, yellow, red, green, any colors that you want. Then you want to have them decorate the turkey. Again, they can color it anyway that they want, decorate, then what you want to do is take a marker and you want to write the numbers one through six on the belly of the turkey. Like this one says one, there would be one that says two, three, four, five and six. Like I said, you have twenty one of these feathers and it's a matching game. This helps kids learn about numbers. You can make it into colors also if you want to do only six different colors of feathers and they match the number of feathers to the number on the turkey. Or like I said, if you want to do it about colors, match all the blue feathers onto the blue turkey, it's up to you."
