Here's a project kids will be happy to lend a hand with -- crafting a gobblin' puppet from a garden glove.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Gardening glove
Colored felt Glue Paint or liquid embroidery (available at craft stores) Googly eyes | |
| Seasons: Thanksgiving | |
| Materials: fabric, paints | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Use the gardening glove for the bird's body. Cut feathers out of felt (make them a bit wider than the glove fingers) and fringe the edges. Now, glue one to each glove finger. |
| 2. | Next, cut a wing shape out of felt and glue it to the palm of the glove. Use paint or liquid embroidery to enhance the plumage. |
| 3. | To make the turkey's beak, cut out a pair of small felt triangles and glue them to opposite sides of the thumb tip. |
| 4. | For the wattle, cut a 2-inch-long hourglass shape out of red felt. Drape the wattle over the base of the beak and glue it in place. Glue on googly eyes. |
| 5. | To use the turkey puppet as a table decoration, stuff
newspaper into the glove and roll up the cuff.
