all sorts of things, and so are my Daisies. I am always amazed at the ideas these girls will come up with as well as the direction a thought will lead. I love turkeys and they are a great craft but I am almost guaranteed to get a turkey-hand craft from school. These are sweet and I love having the size of their hand marked out, but I didn't need to add to the collection. Instead we made a turkey with their ideas and thanks written in their own first grade handwriting. Simple enough project that you can help and do as much as you'd like or let the girls do it all. I decided to cut the body out, the feathers, and write "I am thankful for..." on the body. If I were to do it over, I wouldn't write on it. Many of them rewrote on it anyways.
Supplies:
Construction paper, including brown for the body.
Glue/glue sticks
Markers or crayons
Directions:
Cut the body of the turkey out in a peanut type shape. I had thought about having the girls trace their foot, but envisioned 15 little girls not knowing how to tie their shoes and needing help.
Cut out "feathers", at least 5 per turkey.
Glue the feathers onto the back of the turkey and have the girls write different things they are thankful for on each feather. If they are not able to write it, have them draw a picture of what they are thankful for.
Draw a face on the turkey.
Hang in your front window for everyone to see!
