Writing with Quills

Q is for quills.  Have you written with a quill lately?  It takes a lot of patience and concentration.  Plus, it's fun.

A co-worker has several macaws and was happy to donate a few feathers for this Q-themed activity.  We practiced writing our names and sight words using the quills and black paint.  Putting the paint in recycled lids gave just the right amount of paint for  a quick dip.  Paper towels were also very handy, however, it wasn't as messy as I feared.
