Porter was a little under the weather last week from preschool and so we decided to lay low and not infect the other classmates. Because of this, we missed the awesome turkey project that the room moms graciously put together for each child. When I received my “bag of turkey parts” from my room mom I immediately took a look at the items, sighed -rolled my eyes, and sent her a prompt email! Taken in pieces, it made no sense but all together, it was perfect! Here are the list of items and then some pics of how we put it all together.
Needed:
1 large cardboard plate
1 small cardboard plate
several different colored feathers
2 popsicle sticks – I don’t know how they cut those notches in the sticks – but they are not necessary.
1 small triangle for the nose (can be wooden or construction paper)
1 wooden small ice cream spoon (see turkey pics – it’s the wattle)
2 goggly eyes
brown, orange paint
Circle of beige construction paper for turkey’s face
black construction paper top hat for turkey’s head.
First we painted the paper plates, the triangle nose, the wattle and the legs. After that dried over night we used glue all the pieces together and then inserted the legs and feather. Pretty simple but pretty cute!
