It is almost turkey time, which means it is time to get the crafts ready now! This cute little craft will give your kids something fun to do over Thanksgiving break. Plus, it will dress up the Thanksgiving decor around your house!
Supplies:
- Markers
- White coffee filters
- Wax paper
- Painter’s tape (optional)
- Water spray bottle
- Clothespins
- Googly eyes
- Glue stick
- Scissors
- Construction paper
Directions:
- Use the markers to color the coffee filters with whatever design you prefer. Set aside.
- Place wax paper over your table. We chose to tape down the sides with painter’s tape to prevent it from blowing off.
- Lay out colored coffee filters.
- Lightly spray the colored coffee filters with the water bottle. Less water will work better.
- Allow coffee filters to air-dry, then set aside.
- Fold coffee filters in half and/or into triangles to make the turkey’s feathers.
- Place the coffee filter inside of the clothespin. This will be the turkey’s body. Adjust the coffee filter to make your feathers.
- Add googly eyes.
- Cut out mouths and gobblers from construction paper and glue to the turkey’s body. Allow to dry.
- Place turkeys around your home or directly onto the Thanksgiving table for all to enjoy!
