Thanksgiving Turkey Crafts
The first easy turkey craft we have for you just takes a pine cone, some construction paper, glue, scissors, and some wiggly eyes. Trace your child's hand onto the construction paper with fingers slightly splayed. You'll need two of these. Color them then glue them to the back of the pine cone with the fingers pointing out to resemble tail feathers. Glue on the wiggly eyes and make a wattle by cutting a small triangle out of the construction paper, coloring them red and and gluing them just below the eyes. That makes a cute craft turkey that will be a welcome addition to any Thanksgiving Dinner table decor!
Another one of the fun turkey crafts we have made also involves your child's involvement. All you need for this easy turkey craft is some glue, a pencil, a black marker, scissors, and brown, orange, yellow, and red construction paper. Start by tracing your child's foot out of one of the colors of paper. DO NOT trace the individual toes! Then trace their hands with their fingers splayed out and DO trace the individual fingers! Trace their hands out of the various colors of paper to emulate feathers.
The heel of the foot print will be your turkey head. Arrange the hand prints behind the foot print to look like feathers and glue into place. Cut out two long strips of the brown construction paper and accordion fold them for legs. Cut out feet for your turkey - use your imagination - it doesn't have to be perfect! Draw on a face and cut a small triangle out of the red paper for the turkey wattle. Then you have a cute Thanksgiving turkey to hang.
Making turkey crafts for Thanksgiving is fun for all the family.
