Gobble, gobble!

Looking for a quick craft to enjoy with your kids this month that keeps with the Thanksgiving spirit?

How about a leaf turkey?

Send the kids out to gather a collection of beautiful leaves and one pinecone.

Place the leaves on a large piece of orange construction paper in a fan shape. Use a glue gun or stick to attach the leaves to the paper.

Then glue the pinecone to the bottom center of your fan of leaves, and stick googly eyes on it for the turkey’s  eyes.

Make an orange beak and a red wattle using felt, and glue them onto the pinecone.

Let your turkey dry, and hang it up for a festive decoration.

Happy Turkey Time!
