Here are the books we read to go along with this craft:
Turkeys around Squawk Valley have gotten too smart to just jump into pots anymore for Thanksgiving so the townsfolk come up with a plan to lure one in for their Thanksgiving feast. Unfortunately, the turkey turns out to be smarter than the townsfolk. This was a cute story that both me and the kids enjoyed.
Mrs. Gumm finds a turkey egg and raises the turkey with intentions on eating it for Thanksgiving dinner, but things do not go according to plan. Let’s just say Mrs. Gumm has a kind heart! ๐
Supplies you will need:
- paper plate
- craft knife
(for adult use ONLY) - acrylic paint
(various colors, including brown and yellow) - paint brush
- red foam sheet or cardstock paper
- white cardstock paper
- 2-inch circle punch
- 2 large googly eyes
2. Paint the beak yellow, the face brown, and use a variety of colors to paint feathers around the plate. Let the paint dry completely.
3. When the paint is completely dry, punch 2 white circles out with your 2″ circle punch. Glue them onto your plate. Glue your large googly eyes onto the white circles. Next cut a snood out of your red foam sheet or cardstock paper and glue it onto your turkey.
