Here's a fun last minute holiday craft idea for you and your guests to make, we make this every year at my house!
Tom The Thankful Turkey
To Make This Thankful Turkey you will Need
2 paper bags
sticks/skewers
construction paper
newspaper
ribbon
Fill large paper bag with newspaper to create the body. Fill smaller paper bag with newspaper to create the head.
Tie together, attach with tape and or ribbon.
Cut or draw eyes, feet and beak out of construction paper and attach to Turkey's body.
For thankful feathers
Cut assorted colors of construction paper into feather shapes. Attach stick or skewer to back of paper with tape.
When guests arrive, have them write a word or two about what they are thankful for on each feather. Then, stick the feather into the turkey body and voila! you have Tom the Thankful Turkey.
