One-minute DIY projects - Turkeys (part 2)

My children and I love to make crafts using our hands and feet. This turkey for Thanksgiving is a creative way to use your hands and feet shapes. You can make this turkey into a sort of seasonal decoration to bring out every year for Thanksgiving by framing it or by gluing it onto an art canvas.

Things you will need:
3 Sheets of Colorful Felt
1 Sheet of Brown felt
Scrap Orange Felt
Googly Eyes
Scissors
Marker
Craft Glue
Note: Paper can be substituted for the felt

1) On the brown felt, trace with a marker the right and left foot with the toes together.
2) Cut the two feet out of the brown felt.
3) On the three colorful felts, trace with a marker the right and left hands with the fingers spread.
4) Cut out all six hands.
5) Using scrap felt, cut a small orange triangle about 1/2 X1/4 inch in size for the beak. Also, cut two identical orange triangles about 1 1/2 X 1 inch in size for the feet.
6) On the 1 inch side of the feet, cut a “W” shape out to make the three toes.
7) Lay one set of hands down with the wrists together. Add glue onto the palms, but the fingers.
8) Place the 2nd set of hands on top of each other so that the pointer fingers are side by side. Lay this set of hands at the top of the 1st set of hands. Add glue to the palms of the 2nd set of hands.
9) With the 3rd set of hands, lay one on each side using the fingers of these hands to fill in the gaps.
10) Now with the two feet, place one heel on top of the other and one big toe on top of the other. Add glue to the back and lay on top of the hands with the heels being the head of the turkey and the toes being the bottom of the body.
11) Glue on the googly eyes and beak onto the face.
12) Glue on the feet by adding glue to the top of the feet and placing the top of the feet under the bottom of the body. Allow to dry.
