Thanksgiving Craft Idea!

I just took down all my Halloween decorations and realized that I don't have very many Thanksgiving decorations, so I decided to have the kids work on these cute turkeys to put in our windowsill.  I got the idea from the Family Fun website which is actually for hats, but we just made them into decorations.

It's so easy to do and the kids had a blast making them!  The best part is that you will probably have all the materials on hand.

Materials:

• Small Paper or Plastic cup
• Construction Paper
• Googly eyes
• Glue
• Scissors

Directions:

1. Cut out 5-6 feathers from different colored construcion paper.
2. Trace a circle onto brown construction paper for the turkey's head by using the top of the paper cup as a guide.  Then cut it out.
3. Cut out a small orange triangle for the beak.
4. Cut out a red wattle.
5. Glue on the feathers onto the back of the upside down cup.
6. Glue the googly eyes, beak and wattle onto the brown circle head and then glue the head onto the front of the turkey.

I hope you enjoy this decoration!
