Turkey Pinecone Gobble!

We went on a pinecone adventure!  First we grabbed our magic buckets and took a stroll down the road.  We found the BIG pine trees and searched all around for pinecones.  We filled out magic buckets with little and big pinecones. Once full, we continued our adventure to find any other good objects for future projects. Pinecones can be used for many projects, including some upcoming Christmas ones!

Since it was unseasonably warm here in Pennsylvania, we decided to paint outside so there wasn’t as big of a mess. Besides using a variety of paints, we used glitter of all colors! Some of the trees we purposefully painted blue and green for Christmas tree pinecones!

After allowing the pinecones to dry overnight, we found some googly eyes, construction paper, and leftover foam pieces from an owl project!  The kids cut out feathers and showed mom where to glue them.  Mom used the hot glue gun to glue everything on, however you can use regular glue but it will be more challenging to stay and dry.

You can of course decorate your turkey any way you like with any materials! Get creative and enjoy!

Gobble Gobble!!! Happy Thanksgiving!  Be safe and stay home if you can (quarantine)!

Turkey paper puppet!

Gobble gobble!  It’s almost thanksgiving time!

Since it’s getting cooler (or it is suppose to!), thanksgiving crafts are a great activity for your kids, especially with covid keeping us home!

The first craft we have is a turkey paper puppet.  It is simply, easy, and many of you may have all the materials at home already!!

 

What you need:

-Paper lunch bag (or if you do not have it, brown construction paper and a popsicle stick can work)

-Googly eyes (or you can use a marker or construction paper)

-Construction paper (for the beak, feathers)

-Colored feathers (or construction paper)

-Glue or Gluestick

 

Then all you do is have your little one glue the eyes on, cut a beak out of construction paper and glue it on the front. Put the little gobbler underneath the flap of the bag, glue the feathers and WA-LA! You have an easy turkey!  Enjoy!
