I precut turkey bodies from a cereal box we scavenged from the recycling bin, and let her paint them. While they dried, she free-painted on butcher paper while I cut out feathers of different sizes, waddles, and beaks from construction paper.
Later she assembled the layers after I helped apply the glue. A final touch was gluing tail feathers in an arc from the back and adding wiggly eyes.
Last step was cutting a 3 inch strip of extra cardboard, folding it in half, and snipping a slit into both halves.
These will look nice for Grandma's table setting, don't you think? Check out our handiwork:
I made these when I was a kid :)
ReplyDeleteShe had a blast making them. Of course anytime she gets a chance to paint she has a blast, so y'know... ;)
