Happy Thanksgiving! My daughter and I have been busy the past few weeks making tons of crafts in celebration of one of my favorite holidays. The final craft that she and I made this year was a flock of construction paper pumpkin turkeys.
Materials
- Small pumpkins
- Red, orange, yellow, and brown construction paper
- Wiggle eyes
- Scissors
- Glue
Instructions
- Cut the red, orange, yellow, and brown construction paper into elongated ovals.
- Glue the ovals along the top back of the pumpkin to form turkey feathers. Use plenty of glue to ensure a tight bond.
- Cut a small triangle from the orange paper and a wiggly shape from the red paper.
- Glue the orange triangle to the front of the pumpkin.
- Glue the red wiggle shape to the side of the orange triangle.
- Glue two wiggle eyes above the orange triangle.
- Allow the glue to dry completely.
