Materials

  • Toilet paper rolls or new cardboard tubes
  • Colored cardstock or construction paper
  • Googly eyes
  • Glue stick
  • Turkey template

Instructions

  • Download the turkey template and print it out. Cut all the pieces out.
  • Begin by cutting your toilet paper roll in half. Take one half and cut 1" deep slits on each side of the roll, making sure they are directly opposite from each other.
  • Glue the smaller feather piece to the larger feather piece.
  • Insert the feathers as far down into the slit you made in step 2 as they can go.
  • Glue the gold glitter hat band onto the black hat.
  • Now, glue the completed hat onto the top of the turkey's head.
  • Right underneath the hat, glue the two turkey googly eyes.
  • Next, glue the wattle to the back of the beak, then glue both of them directly below the eyes.
  • Finish off by taking the completed turkey body and placing glue along the center of the lower body. Line up the bottom of the turkey body and the bottom of the toilet roll and glue it into place.
