Leaf Turkeys

By Stephanie Boyle

For leaf turkeys, you will need;

  • leaves
  • construction paper
  • "wiggly eyes"
  • glue

To get started,

  • Bring the children outside to collect leaves, get them to pick the ones they like best.
  • Make a turkey head and body pattern (exclude the tail)
  • Put the head and body on the construction paper, arrange the leaves behind the turkey to create a colourful fantail.
  • Once happy with the way the tail looks, glue all the leaves onto the construction paper.
  • Be creative for the rest, add the legs, feet, eyes, waddles, whatever you can think of.

This is wonderful activity to get the children outside and also lets them be a bit creative. Another beautiful craft to hang on your refrigerator for the holiday.
