Are your kids looking for something to do on Thanksgiving while they wait patiently (or, more than likely, impatiently) for the food to be put out? This Thanksgiving craft will keep the little ones busy while you cook up a delicious feast for the family and give you an adorable centerpiece that your guests will rave about as they gobble down their food!
Materials
- Construction paper (or colored cardstock or foam)
- Scissors
- Glue
- Sunflower bouquet (The Harvest Glow Bouquet is the perfect arrangement to use for this craft.)
- Googly eyes or candy eyes
Instructions
Step 1
Cut out the shapes shown above using brown, orange, red, and yellow construction paper. (You can also use cardstock or foam for sturdier turkeys.)
Step 2
Glue the shapes together to create the head and body of the turkey, and then attach the googly eyes to complete the face. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to create one turkey for each sunflower in your bouquet.
Step 3
Trim the bottom petals of each sunflower, leaving only a rainbow-like arch of petals at the top of the sunflowers. That way, the flower petals look like turkey feathers.
Step 4
Glue one construction paper turkey to the center of each sunflower to create a festive Thanksgiving bouquet.
Although this Thanksgiving craft is intended for kids, guests of all ages will admire these cute sunflower turkeys. They help to create a festive Thanksgiving bouquet that will fit in well with the rest of your turkey day tablescape.
