Servings: 0
Ingredients
- Leaves in different colors
- Brown, red, and orange construction paper
- Googly eyes
- Scissors
- Glue
Instructions
- Begin your crafting adventure with a nature walk to collect your leaves. Look for a mix of colors and shapes to make your turkey’s feathers vibrant and full.
- Once you’ve collected a good assortment of leaves, it's time to start assembling your turkey. Cut out a turkey body shape from the brown construction paper. A simple oval or pear shape works great for this bowling pin shape to add the head and body.
- Take the red construction paper and cut out a wattle—a squiggly shape that hangs from the turkey's beak. Then, cut a small triangle from the orange paper for the beak. Also cut out feet for the turkey and glue them to the bottom of the body.
- Glue the googly eyes onto your turkey’s head, then the beak and wattle. Now your turkey has a face!
- Arrange your leaves in a fan shape on your white paper to create the turkey’s feathers. Once you’re happy with the arrangement, glue the leaves onto the white paper.
- Once the feathers are complete, glue down the turkey body on top of the leaves.
- Allow all the glue to dry, and there you have it—a leaf turkey that’s as colorful as autumn itself!
