Turkey Feather Countdown – Teaching Kids Gratitude Activity/Craft

This can be done in two ways::

2) Add a feather each day until Thanksgiving – this is another way that we have done this activity. You can count out the number of days left & make that number of feathers. If there are 10 days till Thanksgiving, then you make 10 feathers. You then take turns writing what you are thankful for on the turkey (or writing all of the family member’s thankful ideas each day on the feather).  Then you add the feathers to the turkey to make him bright & colorful – the more bright & colorful as you get closer to Thanksgiving & they can count down to see how close you are by counting how many feathers are left. {This idea is not quite as visual as plucking off the feathers and making him bare & ready to be “gobbled up” by the end. But we liked the idea of making him more colorful as every day passed as my girls got to pick which color feather we would add next.

I’ve saved the responses from years in the past, so we can look back on it every year! I think this is a great tradition to start and it has definitely helped with the endless questions from my daughters when they were younger -how much longer till Thanksgiving? They loved having a visual to see how many days are left!
