Gobble Gobble Turkey craft

A little late, but as my perpetually tardy family always says, "better late than never." We never send birthday cards on time. Its a miracle every year if all the gifts are under the tree by Christmas Eve.

We made a turkey craft this year with my little preschoolers. It looks like it would be INCREDIBLY messy, but because my co-teacher and I controlled the paint brushes, it was actually surprisingly neat. We put the cut up construction paper on their table and let them decorate the border as they wished.  They then took turns coming to us to have their hands painted.  We pressed their little hand onto their paper plate. They then took the beak, legs and feet and glued them on themselves. I think their little turkey's turned out almost as adorable as the kids themselves, not quite though.
