Leafy Turkey Craft

It looks like this will be our one and only turkey craft this year.  M just isn’t into doing crafts with me lately (it’s that darn art box’s fault!).  I think this turkey turned out awfully cute though!
Supplies:
Craft leaves, half a paper plate, scrap red, orange, and brown paper, googley eyes, glue.  Also you’ll need something to stand him up later.  We used an old play-doh cup; you could use a cardboard tube cut in half, or something similar.
First, glue the leaves to the paper plate:
Cut a turkey head shape from brown paper, a waddle from red, and a beak from orange.  Glue on top of the leaves:
After he dried, I used hot glue to attach an old play-doh container to the back of the plate.  Gently form the plate around the container:   When he’s dry, set him up and admire!

Have a beautiful day!  GOBBLE, GOBBLE! :)

Our Thanksgiving Tree

I just wanted share what our little Thanksgiving Tree is beginning to look like.

I cut some leaves from pretty autumn-themed scrapbook paper:

We each wrote down something we are thankful for on a leaf (well, M dictated his - “balloons and the sky”) and tacked them to the felt tree:

We will do this every evening until next Wednesday.  I think it will look so pretty by Thanksgiving!  I hope we’ll continue to do this every year, what a nice tradition. :)

Have a beautiful day! :)
