Whether you are talking about Thanksgiving, birds, or are just looking for a fun fine motor activity – these feather necklaces will fit the bill.
How to Assemble Feather Necklaces
To make the necklaces I started by cutting a bunch of circles from scraps of colored card stock. You certainly don’t have to use a circle…use whatever shape or material you choose.
Then, we taped feathers to one side of a circle.
Next we glued another circle on top of the feathered circle to create a little sandwich. You can also sandwich feathers between foam shape stickers.
Once we punched a hole into the circle and added a string, the feather medallions were ready to be decorated with stickers, washi tape, or drawings.
Finally, beads were added to the string. Helpful Hack….Use painter’s tape to hold the necklace to the table so that kids won’t pick up the necklace and send beads flying all over the place.
Math Talk
Making feather necklaces is a fun activity but don’t forget that there are plenty of opportunities to talk about math in the process.
-
- How many beads are on each string?
- How many beads do you need to add to one string to make them even?
- can you make a pattern on each of the strings?
I have also made necklaces to go with other themes as well. You can find my snowflake necklaces HERE and you can see my spectacular spider necklaces HERE.
