Here is a fun craft that will decorate and offer thanks at the same time!
Materials:
Two paper bowls
One toilet paper tube
Construction paper in different colours
Poster paints (orange, black and brown)
Paintbrush
Googly eyes
Plastic bottle top
Toothpicks
Scissors
Glue
Tape
Directions:
Paint the two bowls orange. Paint the toilet roll tube brown. Let dry.
Glue the two bowls together (you can use clothes pins to hold)
Stick the toilet roll holder to the front of the joined bowls. Make sure it will stand before gluing on. Let dry.
Stick on the googly eyes.
Cut a diamond shape out of construction paper, cut in half and fold to make the beak of the turkey, and glue on.
Cut a rectangle of red construction paper and glue below the beak to form the wattle of the turkey.
Paint the bottle top black to make the hat. Make the brim of the hat by cutting a circle out of black construction paper (a little bit bigger than the bottle cap and the top of your toilet roll holder). Glue the brim to the bottle top, then stick the hat on the top of the toilet roll holder.
Cut feather shapes out of different colours of construction paper to form feathers.
Tape a toothpick to the back of each feather, half way down so that the toothpick can be used to stick the feathers into the back of the bowl to form a fan-like tail.
On each feather write something that you are grateful for – for example loving parents, a comfortable home, good friends or playful pets.
