Are you ready to make this fun Thanksgiving craft? Let’s make sure you have everything you’ll need…
Here’s What You’ll Need for each turkey:
- Turkey Face Printable
- wooden circle pieces
- 2 inch wide Styrofoam balls
- knife
- pencil or pen
- Crayons
Instructions
- cut your Styrofoam ball into slices that are wide enough to hold a crayon
- cut a straight edge at the bottom of each useable slice
- use glue to sandwich the Styrofoam in between 2 slices of wood
- glue the printed turkey face onto the front
- use the end of a pencil or pen to twist back and forth into the Styrofoam, making five places for the crayons – all the way around
- *I snapped this picture before I decided the turkey needed a wooden piece on the back for weight. You can do it either before you add the back piece or after
- place crayons into holes – adjusting the depth, if necessary
