Get your kids involved with setting the Thanksgiving table with these adorable turkeys.
Materials:
Empty paper towel/toilet paper rolls
Construction paper in various colors
Permanent marker
Scissors
Glue stick or liquid glue
Crayons (optional)
Googly eyes (optional)
Buttons/sequins (optional)
Steps:
Start by drawing the turkey’s feathers on the pieces of construction paper, make sure they are not longer than the paper roll. Each turkey needs about five feathers. In addition to the feathers, draw the eyes, beak and the snood.
Carefully cut out the drawn pieces. You can use crayons to add more color to the feathers. You could also have your children write things they are thankful for on the feathers.
Prior to gluing the feathers, give your roll a little squish to keep it from rolling while attaching the feathers. Start to attach the feathers to the back of the roll at about the halfway point.
Once the feathers are attached, add the eyes, beak and snood to the front of the roll.
If you’d like, you can use your crayons, buttons or sequins to add more details and personality to your turkey!
Use your turkeys as table decorations, place settings or even silverware and napkin holders!
