Simple Turkey Day Crafts
Ask each child to write what she's thankful for on a paper feather, then stick it into this cute turkey centerpiece.
How to make it: Cut a 1-inch sliver off the bottom of a 9-inch polystyrene ball. Wrap sphere neatly in thick dark-brown yarn, covering surface completely; knot on bottom. Make a 4-inch ball from light-brown yarn and attach to body with a wooden craft stick. Create simple facial features using felt: white circles (approximately the size of a quarter, with 1/8-inch pom-poms for pupils) for eyes, yellow triangles for the beak, and long red felt teardrops as the wattle. Cut feather shapes from colored craft paper and bend in half lengthwise to create seam. Glue wooden craft stick to the bottom third of the feather and insert in a fan shape on turkey body.

11/15/2011 02:02:13 PM Report AbuseWe did this last year. Rather than using the styrofoam balls, I found a pre-printed centerpiece of a turkey and added the "feathers" to it. This idea worked extremely well and was fun for all.
