Flannel Board Story<\/h4>\n

Turkey Feathers<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Pattern from Felt Board Fingerplays by Liz and Dick Wilmes
\nSong from\u00a0Everything Preschool<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a turkey. (Place the turkey on the flannelboard.)
\n<\/em>But he\u2019s missing something!\u00a0 What is he missing?
\nFeathers!
\nWhat color is this feather? (Bring out the red feather)
\n<\/em>Red!\u00a0 That\u2019s right!\u00a0 Let\u2019s put it on the turkey.\u00a0 (Place the feather on the turkey.)<\/em>
\n(now sing, to tune of Mary Wore Her Red Dress)<\/em>
\nTurkey wore his red feather, red feather, red feather.
\nTurkey wore his red feather all day long.<\/p>\n

(Continue adding color feathers and singing)<\/em><\/p>\n

Let’s see, what color feathers does turkey have? \u00a0(rename all the colors)<\/em>
\nAnd what does that make?
\nA rainbow!<\/p>\n
