Button turkey to practice buttoning

It is time to get dressed and those buttons aren’t going to button themselves. It’s hard you say? How about we practice buttoning on something that is fun. I created this little button turkey with feathers that you can button on. He has six rainbow colored feathers that button onto the back of the turkey so it looks like they are his tail feathers.

The turkey body is small at only 4 inches across, but the feathers are 4 inches and I wanted to feathers to be bigger compared to the body. I think that it turned out pretty cute. I like to double layer the felt when I make them so that it is sturdy and lasts longer.

There are lots of other buttoning activities to check out. The big button sandwich is a favorite and here is a whole category just for buttoning.
