Supplies:
- One toilet paper roll per turkey
- Sticker or googly eyes (We chose stickers to easily add personalized touches to our turkeys, including a mustache and glasses!)
- Red pipe cleaner or red construction paper
- Yellow and brown construction paper
- Leaves (real or artificial) OR use the red, brown and yellow construction paper
- Brown paint
- Paint brush
- Tape
- Scissors
Directions:
- Pull any remaining toilet paper off toilet paper roll and paint toilet paper roll brown. Allow to completely dry.
- While toilet paper roll is drying, cut out brown turkey legs and a yellow square for the mouth. Set aside.
- If using a red pipe cleaner, roll pipe cleaner for the waddle. Leave an additional section of the red pipe cleaner to tape down under the mouth. Feel free to use red construction paper instead of the pipe cleaner.
- If using leaves, tape together the stems of the leaves. We used three leaves. If using construction paper, cut out leaves or handprints.
- Once turkey body is dry, tape on eyes, mouth, waddle, legs and leaves. If personalizing your turkey, add any additional details.
- Roll up napkin and slide turkey over the center. Place your turkeys on your table when you’re ready for your Thanksgiving!
