Christmas, uh Thanksgiving is Coming

 I had to make a Thanksgiving craft to convince myself that Thanksgiving really is one week away!  Eventhough through the whole process Will-zilla kept saying "Christmas is coming" he was a great help!!

 

Supplies:

Toilet Rolls

Scrap Card Stock in various colors

Google Eyes

Pipe Cleaners

 

1. Prepare all your supplies: 

• cut toilet paper rolls in half
• cut feather shape with template
• punch small holes near bottom front of roll with hole punch
• cut orange triangles
• cut red ovals  
• cut pipe cleaner into 1/3s

 2. Have your little helper glue on google eyes, beak triangles, and waddle ovals all the while working on those fine motor skills and shape identification (and watching youtube at the same time).

3. Pull pipe cleaner through holes in roll and fold ends like feet

4. Glue paper feathers to the back.  Mommy was in charge of this since holding each one in place required lots of patience!

 

Our little turkeys will be adorning Mimi and Pops and Grandma and Grandpa's house in ONE week!  Perhaps we will use as napkin holders or place setting markers but either way we can say it was truly a joint effort!

Do you have Thanksgiving craft ideas for the kiddos?

Can you believe Thanksgiving is only one week away?

And yes, Christmas is coming just not soon enough for Will-zilla!

Love, Andrea
