my sister-in-law requested a thanksgiving craft for kids. so this ones for you toad! (i don't really know why we call her that...i married into the family and don't ask questions.) love ya toad!
the kids have enjoyed taking it up and down and rearranging the feathers.
trey made this little guy! i think it is adorable. you'll have to zoom in on it so you can see those little eyes he drew.
i made a feather template and had trey trace it. tracing is good for these little guys especially at this age.
then cut them out.
whoooa! what the heck is going on with that bed head. does that kid have a mom!!??
why doesn't she comb his hair??!!!
we used the sticky magnets on a roll and stuck them to the top of each feather. i got this at joanns.
then cut out a turkeys body. looks kinda like a peanut. cut out a feet, a gobbler, a beak, and i used googly eyes. trey drew his eyes.
glue the face and feet. stick a magnet to the back of the turkey as well.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

As usual, another great idea! I swear, Tan, you're better than Martha.
That cool that they can move the feathers around. Thomas may be too young to make one but he loves fridge art!

ps grandma johnson named me toad because when I was a babe taking a bath she thought i looked like a toad swimming.:)
What a great idea! I will have to do this with my daughter.
Bed head is totally in! I prefer bed head as my hair style. No worries. Nice job on the Turkeys...think I could get Kyson to make one for our fridge? He is almost three months old, I think he has the coordination...well he can hold up his head atleast. Looking forward to seeing you guys at Christmas time! -Frank
Tanya....I could see you on one of those late night shows at like 3 in the morning showing the audience how to make something crafty. You never run out of ideas!
