Turkey Crayon Holder Craft
Are you looking for fun Thanksgiving ideas for the kids? Check out some of my other ideas, like:
You’ll Need:
For the chalk turkey
- A painted brown styrofoam ball for the body – around 4 inches – cut in half
- A painted brown styrofoam ball for the head – around 2 inches
- A toothpick
- Googly eyes
- An orange eraser top for the beak
- A 1-inch red piece of chenille strip
- Hot glue
- Chalk Sticks
Alright – On To The Craft!:
- Lay your large brown – cut in half – piece of styrofoam down
- Place a toothpick into the ball toward the top/center for your neck
- Place the smaller brown ball onto the neck/toothpick
- Decorate the smaller ball with googly eyes, eraser beak, and chenille stem for the waddle
- Decide where you would like your feathers/chalk to go – make 5 holes with a pencil into the spots you’ve chosen – you can make the holes a little larger by just circling the pencil around
- Place 5 pieces of chalk into the holes for feathers
- That’s it, you’re done!
Chalk Board Mat:
You’ll Need:
- Chalkboard material
Instructions
- Cut chalkboard material into placemat sizes
- Instructions should come with the material, but you have to basically rub chalk all over it and wipe it (twice). Then it’s ready to go
- I purchased mine at JoAnn Fabrics
