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)!
