Craft Along Monday: Gobble Gobble

With Thanksgiving right around the corner and my desperately wanting to share with the world our upcoming bundle of joy, I thought why not have the kids make turkeys? They made 3 of them to use for our special announcement and boy did they have fun!

What you need:

paper towel or toilet paper rolls, brown and orange construction paper,
feathers, google eyes, glue, and small rubber bands

The first step was to cover the rolls with brown paper which I had already cut to size.

Watching intently as big brother shows her how to work the glue.

A master already! Who knew glue was so much fun?

Trying his best to roll the paper on. I had to help a little with this step.

After covering the rolls in brown paper, we glued the feathers, eyes, and noses on using the white glue. I used the small rubber bands to help hold the paper and feathers in place while they were drying. I was hoping to get pictures of each of these stages as well, but my fingers were covered in glue from helping the kids. I kind of like my camera and didn't want the shutter button to be glued down so you're going to have to use your imagination! 

The final product:

I hope you enjoyed our project! Feel free to link up any craft activities you have completed with your family!
