Thanksgiving Turkey Keepsake Craft

Now that Halloween is over it is time to be thankful.... and decorate with Turkeys! I love doing arts and crafts with my 2 girls and son and this year we decided to go along the lines of the Halloween spiders and make Thanksgiving Turkeys. 

Here are the materials needed for this craft :

• Construction paper - Brown for the turkey body, orange for his mouth, red for his "gobbler", white for the eyes, and whatever colors you want for the wings (We did, orange, yellow, red, and green)
• Ink Pen or Pencil - Used for tracing
• Scissors
• Glue

You can also add googly eyes for the turkey instead of just paper eyes.

Directions to Make your Turkey!

1. Trace your child's foot onto the brown paper.
2. Trace the child's hand onto a piece of colored paper for the wings. **You can either trace one hand and cut out numerous wings at one time by stacking the papers ---OR--- you can trace and cut each hand separately. We did our separate so my daughter could practice cutting with scissors**
3. After the turkey body and all the wings (we did 4 wings) are cut it is time to assemble.
4. Start by gluing 1 hand wing at a time to the back of the foot body. Continue until all wings are attached.
5. Now assemble the turkey face --- 2 eyes. 1 beak, and 1 gobbler

Voila! You now have a Thanksgiving Turkey Keepsake!!
