This is one turkey that won't get eaten this Thanksgiving. Your kids can make a flock to decorate the dinner table -- or for all the kid guests to take home as favors.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Yellow and red felt
Tacky glue Googly eyes Brown pom-poms Pinecones Pipe cleaners | |
| Seasons: Thanksgiving | |
| Materials: fabric, pipe cleaners | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | For each turkey, cut out a yellow beak and a red wattle from felt. Then glue the beak, wattle, and a pair of googly eyes onto a pom-pom to create the turkey's head. |
| 2. | Glue the pom-pom head to the tip of a pinecone. Allow the glue to dry. |
| 3. | Wrap a pipe cleaner around the middle of the turkey's cone body, starting from the top and twisting it together a few times on the underside. Separate the ends of the pipe cleaner (below the twists) and bend each tip into a 3-toed foot. |
| 4. | For the turkey's tail, individually wrap 3 or 4 pipe
cleaners around the back of the pinecone, starting from the
underside and twisting them together a few times on the top of
the pinecone to secure them. Then loop both ends of each pipe
cleaner to shape tail feathers.
