Fringing Paper Feather Shapes

Materials
Construction paper cut into large feather shapes
Scissors

Directions
Cut out several construction paper feather shapes for your toddler.  Provide your child with a pair of  child-size scissors.  (Fiskars make a good pair of scissors; the Dollar Tree has scissors that work sufficiently)  Invite your child to snip around the edges of the feather.

This activity provides excellent fine motor practice and requires focus and concentration

Preschool age children: 
Provide feather shapes on card stock. Invite your child to trace around the feather shape, then cut out  and fringe the feather.
