Craft Supplies:

- Turkey Printable {on box.com}
- White Cardstock Paper
- Crayons, Markers or Coloring Pencils
- Craft Scissors
- Stapler
- Googly Eyes
- Embellishments
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
Directions:
- First things first – flatten out your cardboard tube and place a staple each end, to make a basic rectangle shape. This will be the turkey’s body.
- Set it aside.
- Now grab your printed printable and choice of coloring materials.
- Color in ONE of the turkey head shapes from the printable and trim it out afterwards.
- At this point in time, add on the googly eye as well.
- When ready, go ahead and staple that head piece, to one end of the flattened cardboard piece from earlier.
- Now for an optional step – you can either use a plain paper handprint cutout OR make a painted handprint for the turkey’s wing. The choice is yours!
- Once you have the wing/feathers done, staple it to the center of your toilet paper roll.
- Finally, staple ONE jumbo popsicle stick to the back/on the bottom of the decorated cardboard roll. This way you can hold him like a puppet.
- And that’s it! Add other embellishments you see fit before displaying/playing with your cute little turkey proudly!!!
