We gathered glue, white card stock or paper, different colored paper, colored pencils, and because I couldn't find googley eyes, we used rhinestones instead.
Kayleigh decided she wanted to a HAND turkey first.Of course, Jonathan wanted to do the same thing.
Here is the HAND TURKEY, that the kids still love to do. Just trace around their hands, make their thumb into the turkeys head and add eyes, wattle and feet. Let the kids color the fingers different colors to represent the feathers.
Now we were ready to make our glued turkey picture.
- Cut out your paper feathers. If you don't have colored paper, just color some with crayons, markers or colored pencils.
- Cut out a long heart shape from brown paper or a brown paper bag
- Glue the paper feathers into a semi-circle onto your white paper.
- At the base of those we added a layer of the leaves we had collected.
- Turn heart upside down to make his body and layer in the middle of the leaves.
- cut out a beak and wattle from colored paper and glue to heart
- Add your googley eyes or rhinestones above beak
- draw feet if you desire.
Crafting is a great activity for your kids. It allows them to use their brains in a creative way. The next time boredom strikes, un-plug them from their games and TV watching and let them create. My Saturday craft projects will not require much money or planning, but they will make the memories of a lifetime.
Join me every Saturday for quick and easy kids crafts.
