Paper Bag Turkey

It’s time for all the of the fun Thanksgiving and turkey projects to start!  We made our first turkey project yesterday, one that I found over at Ramblings of a Crazy Woman.

You’ll need: paper bag, google eyes, construction paper, glue, something to tie around the bag and newspaper.

Stuff half of the bag with crumpled up newspaper.

Twist the middle of the bag and tie something it around to hold it in place (I used brown ribbon).  Then stuff the top of the bag with more crumpled up newspaper.  Tape the top of the bag shut.

Add a face to your turkey.

Add some feathers.

Q-Tip Skeleton

I saw this Q-Tip Skeleton idea in one of my Mailbox magazines and I thought it was so cute!

Here’s what you’ll need: black construction paper, glue, Q-Tips, a small cutout of your child’s face.

Glue the Q-Tips in the shape of a skeleton.

Friendly Ghost

I got this idea for a Friendly Ghost over at Ramblings of a Crazy Woman.

You’ll need: paper plate, glue, marker, white tissue paper, construction paper.

Cut the tissue paper into strips, draw a face on the plate, cut out pieces for the hat and bow tie.

Glue the white tissue paper onto the back of the paper plate.

Glue on the hat and bow tie.

Handprint Bat

Here’s what you’ll need: black and blue construction paper, scissors, glue, google eyes, scissors and a pencil.

Trace your child’s hands and cut them out.  Normally I try to have Hailey do the cutting, but I knew this would only cause frustration so I did the cutting.  Then glue the hands onto the blue construction paper.

Add eyes.  (By the way, I have no idea why those shoes are on the table!)
