Turkey Tracks

This project was so much fun! We made turkey tracks with a plastic drinking straws.

Take a plastic drinking straw and cut it in half. I had the bendy straws, so I cut off that end. Then make four strips at end and cut one of those strips off so you are left with three strips to resemble the turkey foot. It should look like this.


Get your child a piece of paper and some paint. Show them how to dip the "turkey foot" in the paint and then have the turkey foot walk on the paper.


Then the turkey wanted to run across her paper. She had fun!


Here is the finished product. I think it came out really cool!


Bekah loved doing this so much she wanted to do another one afterwards. It kept her busy while I started dinner. Can't ask for more than that!

Paper Plate Turkey

Here's another adorable turkey craft that I found at Miller Moments.

We took half of a paper plate and Bekah colored it. We decided to do two turkeys and not waste the other half of the paper plate.
Then I cut out the turkey head, feet, and beak (do turkeys really have beaks? I'm not sure!) Bekah glued the pieces on our half of paper plate and added a googly eye.



Bekah insisted that our turkeys needed feet. I guess they needed them to dance!

CD Turkey

Bekah and I made this adorable turkey last week and I just had to share! I can't remember where I found this idea. I've searched everywhere, and just cannot locate it. If you know, please let me know so I can give them the credit.

This turkey is very easy to make. All you need is a CD, feathers, brown construction paper, and a googly eye.

I cut out a turkey head and feet and then Bekah glued them to the back of the CD.


She then added the feathers.


I also added magnets to the back of the CD so I could hang it on the refrigerator.

Here's our cute CD turkey.

Muffin Tin Monday - Thanksgiving

We're back to Muffin Tin Monday after a break last week. Yesterday we had Thanksgiving dinner at my mother-in-law's house, so I thought we'd have some leftover turkey today. Bekah had:
turkey with gravy, smile snacks (because being thankful makes us happy!), apple slices with homemade caramel sauce (love this stuff!), and a cheese turkey.


Here's a little funny fact: Bekah is not a big meat eater, so we call chicken or turkey "dinosaur meat" and she eats it! She loves her "dinosaur meat!" Isn't that funny!

She was so happy to see her muffin tin meal!
