Busy prepping for Thanksgiving dinner? Let your kids help out with table decorations with these fun and simple place holders your guests will love.
Materials needed:
- Brown, red and orange paper (or color white paper these colors!)
- Black marker/pen
- Scissors
- Hershey Kiss candy
- Hot glue/regular glue
- Googly eyes
Step one: Draw your turkey's feathers on brown paper and cut out. A scalloped circular shape works well!
Step two: Draw the turkey's wattle on red paper and cut out.
Step three: Draw a small triangle on orange paper and cut out for the beak.
Step four: Write the guest's name toward the top of the brown feathers.
Step five: Glue the brown feathers to the back of the Hershey kiss.
Step six: Glue the googly eyes toward the top of the candy, adding the wattle below the eyes and the beak on top.
Step seven: Place your turkeys around the table and enjoy your Thanksgiving meal with your family!
