Five Silly Turkeys (printable)

After reading Five Silly Turkeys to your little one, have them re-enact the story with their own little cut-out turkeys.  I created a free printable that you can use for this purpose.  It can be used on a felt board or attached to popsicle sticks. I also made a 2nd page with numbers to be used for beginning math activities.

Have a book discussion with your child.
Compare both stories. How are they the same? How are they different?
