HOW TO MAKE AN ENVELOPE TURKEY PUPPET
Supplies you will need:
  • standard #10 size envelope
  • brown paint
  • paintbrush
  • construction paper
  • googly eyes
  • red water balloon (optional)
  • scissors
  • glue

Directions:
1. Start by sealing your envelope and then cut it in half. You’ll need one half for each turkey puppet. Paint the front of your envelope half brown and then let it dry completely.
2. Cut out turkey feathers from your construction paper. When your envelope is dry, glue your feathers onto the back of your envelope.
3. Cut the end of your water balloon off (making it flat helps it glue on easier) and glue it onto your envelope for the turkey waddle. As an alternative to the water balloon, simply cut a waddle out of red construction paper.
4. Finish your turkey puppet by gluing on a beak and googly eyes.
Now your preschooler or toddler can put their hand inside the envelope and have fun with their new turkey puppet. You might enjoy coupling this craft with some fun children’s Thanksgiving books. Here are a few of our favorites:
–A Plump and Perky Turkey by Teresa Bateman
–Turkey Trouble by Wendi Silvano
–Sometimes it’s Turkey, Sometimes it’s Feather by Lorna & Lecia Balian
–10 Fat Turkeys by Tony Johnston
