My kiddos and I love making crafts together for each holiday. For our most recent Thanksgiving craft, my daughter and I made a turkey using paper plates, paint, and construction paper.
Materials
- Red, orange, yellow, and brown nontoxic paint
- White paper plates
- Yellow and red construction paper
- Wiggle eyes
- Paintbrush
- Glue
- Scissors
Instructions
- Paint the inner circle of the paper plate brown.
- Paint the outer circle of the paper plate in small sections of red, orange, and yellow.
- Cut a small triangle from the yellow paper and a wiggly shape from the red paper.
- Glue two wiggle eyes to the top center of the brown circle.
- Glue the yellow triangle under the wiggle eyes with the point pointing down.
- Glue the red wiggly shape to the side of the yellow triangle.
