This activity is easy enough! But a winner for Thanksgiving.Materials:
Brown or tan construction paper
Orange construction paper
Red construction paper
White paper
Colored feathers (we found ours at Wal-Mart)
Google eyes (optional)
Elmer's glue
Hot glue
Directions:
On your brown paper draw a shape like a short, squat bowling pin. Then cut it out. Glue this shape onto the middle of a white piece of paper with Elmer's glue - leave an edge around the outside (glue mostly in the middle).
Next, take the colored feathers and decide how you want them arranged around the turkey. Using a hot glue gun put a thin squirt of glue on the bottom of each turkey feather and quickly push it under the brown paper. You can try this with Elmer's glue, but the feathers might just fall out.
After the feathers are glued on, cut out a beak, feet, and waddle with your colored paper and glue them on. Glue on your google eyes as well (or, you can make your own eyes by drawing them on or using white paper to cut some out).
You can have your little one stick on all the parts of the turkey with your help! If your child is old enough he/she can cut out the parts of the turkey.
