Here is a fun craft I made for Thanksgiving! First I started by drawing a turkey face shape on a piece of light brown construction paper, pretty much just a simple circle, nothing fancy. Next I cut it out and glued on two googly eyes. For the beak and wattle I cut out the triangle and wattle shapes from yellow and red foam. I then glued them on the turkey face and glued the entire face to the top of the clothes pin. For the feathers I cut squares from red, yellow and green tissue paper. I then folded the squares as if I were making a card and bunched them up at the crease. Once I had all three colors bunched up I lined them up together kind of overlapping, opened the clothes pin and slid the feathers in right at the center where they all overlapped. Lastly I let the glue dry and that’s all there was to it. This was a very easy, fun craft to make and would make a great centerpiece at a Thanksgiving table! You could make this with different materials if you don’t have the ones I used. For example you could make simple feathers by folding a coffee filter or doily in half and simply painting it or coloring it with markers. You could also use real craft feathers if you wanted. If you don’t have googly eyes on hand, you could use buttons or just simply draw eyes on to the turkey. In addition you could also used colored construction paper for the beak and waddle instead of foam. Create your clothes pin turkey with whatever materials you have around your home and it will be the highlight of your table this Thanksgiving!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Creatively yours,
