Feathers are a fascinating natural material for children to examine up close. While it is generally deemed safe to collect feathers that we see in nature several of us have often been warned not to do so. If you want to be on the safe side, you can order several different types of feathers online for kids' crafts and activities:

Colored Duck Quill Feathers
Natural Duck Quill Feathers
Colored Feathers for Arts & Crafts
Natural Feathers for Arts & Crafts

White Feathers
Dotted Feathers
