Materials
- Colored cardstock or construction paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Sponge
- Paint
- Paper Plate or paint well
- Turkey Template
Instructions
- Download the template, print it, and cut out the pieces you need.
- Cut your sponge into a thin rectangle for the feathers. Our sponge measured about 3.75" x 1.25".
- Dip the sponge strip in paint and press it onto paper to make a feather. Repeat this process with the same or a different colored paint four more times, pressing to create the remaining feathers. Set aside to dry.
- Glue the eyes onto the turkey head, under the eyebrows.
- Next, glue the snood in between the lower part of the eyes.
- Take the beak and glue it on top of the snood.
- Now glue the head piece onto the turkey's body.
- Attach the feet to the back and bottom of the turkey body.
- Once the feathers are dry, finish by gluing the turkey onto the background paper over the feather prints.
