Thanksgiving Craft- Thankful Turkey

Thanksgiving is coming, and it's the perfect time to make your kids think of all that they have, and why they should be thankful!  This craft is super fun for kids 3 years and older.

What you need:
Construction Paper(brown, orange, yellow, red)
Scissors
Glue
Markers
Google Eyes

What to do:
1. On brown paper, draw the turkey's body.  I like to do the circular body with an oval head on top(like in the picture)  But, a simple circle will do fine.
2. Cut out the turkey.
3.  Cut a small triangle of yellow or orange paper, and a red oval.  Glue the red oval on the turkey's head, and the triangle over it for the beak and the gobble.
4.  Glue on the google eyes.
5.  Cut out several feathers of all the colors of paper and glue them to the back of your turkey.
6.  Have your child write everything they are thankful for on the feathers.  You can help them, or do it for them.  The important part is to have them think of things that they are thankful for.  I also like to ask my daughter why she is thankful for each thing.

This is so much fun, and so easy for tiny hands!  I will also be adding a 3D thankful turkey centerpiece craft.
