This is an easy craft you can do with your kids in preparation for Thanksgiving.
Materials Needed:
- Brown construction paper
- Scissors
- One medium google eye
- Washable glue
- Foam plate or plastic lid
- Washable red and yellow paint
- Red, orange, yellow, blue and purple feathers (or other color combination)
- Clear tape
- Black pen or thin Sharpie
Instructions:
- Cut a turkey shape (about 5 inches in height) out of the brown construction paper. A cookie cutter makes a great template or check online.
- Glue the google eye onto the turkey.
- Squirt a small amount of the red and yellow paints onto the foam plate or plastic lid.
- Press your child's thumb into the paint and press thumb onto the turkey for "feathers," alternating between the two colors of paint.
- Put the colored feathers together at the hard tips and fan them out. Tape them to the back of the turkey behind the thumb "feathers."
- Using the pen, write saying of your choice, such as "Happy Thumbs-giving."
