An egg carton in clever disguise, these individualized cups hold a nutty snack for young gobblers.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Pencil
Egg carton Scissors or X-acto knife Tempera paint (brown or yellow) 4-inch pipe cleaner Pushpin (optional) 2 googly eyes Colored feathers (available at craft stores) Glue stick White paper Toothpick Marker | |
| Seasons: Thanksgiving | |
| Materials: egg cartons, food items, paints, pipe cleaners | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Draw a cut line around one of the cups in the egg carton. Then, cut along the line (a parent's job) and paint the cup. |
| 2. | Fold the pipe cleaner in half and twist the ends together to form a wattle. Push the exposed wire through the top of the turkey's beak until one third of the pipe cleaner is through the hole. (Tip: Stick a pushpin through the carton first.) To keep the wattle from slipping out, bend down the inserted end. |
| 3. | Glue on the googly eyes and feathers. |
| 4. | To make a name tag flag, cut out a strip of white paper.
Cover one side with glue, then place a toothpick in the middle
and fold the paper in half so the toothpick is glued inside. When
the paper is dry, write on a name, then stick the toothpick
through one side of the turkey, and the holder is ready to fill
with nuts.
