Toddler Crafts: Construction Paper Turkey
Hi! My name is Stacey. Today I am going to show you how to make a turkey using your child’s hands and feet. The materials are brown, orange, red and yellow construction paper, glue, scissors and a black marker. First thing you will need to do is trace your child’s feet on the brown construction paper. Next you will cut out the feet; these will serve as the turkey’s body and the heel of the foot will serve as the head of the turkey and you just need to glue them together and you have an overlap. Next thing you will do is trace your child’s hands on the orange, red and yellow construction paper and then cut the hands out. You should have six hands total. After you have cut the hands out you will glue them around the turkey for the feathers. The next thing you will do is make a triangle for the nose with your orange construction paper and two feet for the turkey and cut out the feet and the nose. The next thing you will do is glue the feet to the bottom and glue your nose and then make eyes with your marker or you can use googly eyes. Now you have made a turkey with your child’s hand and feet. Don’t forget to put their age on the back.
